Application: The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms, Current Procedural Terminology, and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding SystemStandards for the representation of health information can originate from an organization’s desire to capture clinical information in a way that is useable for a specific functional purpose, with the organization subsequently designing and developing a proprietary standardized system to address this particular informational need.
To prepare\u00a0for this Application Assignment, review the perspectives presented in this week’s Learning Resources on three commonly used clinical standards for health information-the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT\u00ae), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT\u00ae), and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
To complete\u00a0this Application Assignment,\u00a0write a 2- to 3-page paper\u00a0that describes the respective history, purpose, and use of the SNOMED CT\u00ae, CPT\u00ae, and HCPCS systems.
As you detail the particulars of each system, be sure to identify which organization has played a key role in its development and maintenance, what type of health information it was developed to represent, how the represented information is structured, and in what context the represented information is used.
Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. To ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct, refer to APA Style:\u00a0http:\/\/www.apastyle.org\/.
