Terminology / Vocabulary
• Modern health care and health insurance communications and data storage makes heavy use of encoded information.
• In the standards world, this is referred to as terminology and vocabulary.
• Electronic messaging standards define several different types of objects that implement various characteristics of vocabulary.
Whereas other elements of the messaging standards are primarily concerned with structure, vocabulary deals with content. © 2011 Council of Cooperative Health Insurance (CCHI)

Role of Vocabulary
Vocabulary defines the meaning of data
Changes data to information through instantiation of semantic rules
It is the “Human readable” value a user sees
Allows for intersystem interoperability by creating a single semantic interpretation of the message payload
• Required for o data translation o data aggregation

• Is probably the single most important component for interoperability © 2011 Council of Cooperative Health Insurance (CCHI)

Terminology/Vocabulary – A
Crucial Requirement
Without having Terminology/Vocabulary Standards...
− Health insurance data is non-comparable
− Aggregation is difficult if not impossible
− Healthcare and Health Insurance Systems cannot semantically interchange data
− Secondary use of data (for example research or risk management)
