Abstract:
A health care organization wanting to implement electronic capture and storage needs to implement several controlled and legacy terminologies. The organization has control over its legacy terminologies, its data format and update process. But it has to deal with various aspects of third-party controlled medical terminologies which are out of its control. These aspects include distribution formats, notification of updates and so on. We discuss the issues we have encountered while trying to use several biomedical terminologies that are created and distributed by third-party organizations, and recommend best practices for distribution.
