    Study Notes

    • ICD-O-3 is a classification used by tumor registries to report the topography and morphology of neoplasms, providing greater detail than ICD-10.
    • DSM-5 is a classification for mental disorders used in clinical assessments, treatment plans, and communication between healthcare providers.
    • LOINC is a system for identifying health measurements and observations, implemented in software applications, standardizing names and codes for laboratory and clinical variables.
    • Clinical terminologies, classifications, and code systems are essential in healthcare for capturing data at a granular level for primary (clinical decision support) and secondary (billing and payment) uses.
    • SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used for documentation and reporting, providing a granular level of clinical data capture, supporting interoperability, and standardizing clinical phrases and information exchange.
