Description
Application: Specialized Standards for Specialty-Specific Health Information Needs
To more effectively manage and share health information pertinent to their particular areas of expertise, many specialty-specific groups of health care providers, such as pharmacists, nurses, and dentists, develop proprietary methods of standardization that reflect their specialty's informational needs and that support the practical aspects of the work that they do on behalf of patients.
To complete this Application Assignment, write a 1- to 2-page paper that briefly summarizes the history, purpose, and use of three specific standards for the specialized representation of information in health and health care [for example, a code set such as Current Dental Terminology (CDT); a system such as Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®); and a classification such as North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, International (NANDA)].
