  • Mapping clinical data with a health data dictionary
    Publication number: 20020128861
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for mapping clinical data including insurance data and pharmaceutical data with a health data dictionary. The health data dictionary provides a vocabulary that identifies insurance companies and pharmaceutical compounds including drugs in a normalized and standard form. The clinical data generated at a legacy system is compared with standard clinical data stored in the health data dictionary. Based on this comparison a partial or exact match is identified for the clinical data. After a match is selected, the normalized clinical data can be stored in a data repository. For unmatched clinical data, new concepts can be created and added to the health data dictionary for future use.
