"The advent of LLMs marks a significant shift in the realm of PII detection. Moving beyond traditional methods like regex, LLMs offer a sophisticated approach, balancing #healthcare data privacy with the intrinsic value of data."

Not ALL clinical terminologies contain ALL of the same components; some may just contain some, & some may call them different names. Confused yet? 🤷

In this video, we cover common #terminology components seen in the majority of clinical terminologies:

Great piece from @NLM_NIH on #interoperability.

"In general, using semantic terminologies is possible to improve the interoperability and reusability of PRO questionnaires . However, this task cannot be automated and requires human effort."

ICYMI: Huge news from the @HHSGov. The nationwide #healthcare data exchange governed by the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (#TEFCA) is now operational.

Questions about #TEFCA but didn't know who to ask? We wrote this blog for you.

#Healthcare standards are needed to improve the way we work with #data. But, terminologies are difficult to use.

What can you do?

In this video, our Lead Terminologist Timothy Williams explains the landscape.

It is easy to take for granted words & phrases we use to describe things. Think of #terminology as the art & science of naming. This might sound simple, but having a shared language is crucial for clear communication.

"When the Hospital Doesn’t Know You’re Dead" - great piece from @fperrywilson.

"Thank you for the automated alert informing me that my patient had acute kidney injury. Regrettably, the alert fired about an hour after the patient had died."

As always, #terminology is at the root of the #interoperability solution. This article summarizes key steps in effectively working with healthcare #terminology standards & data #normalization. WCI is implementing a similar approach for our customers.

The first 3 upside predications leave out 1 key step: While #AI cuts the jargon, serve back-office functions, & predict next events, it can only do w/𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 #healthcare data.

This is one of the solutions WCI is striving to provide (via AI).

Having fun at @snomedct gala dinner. The award winners all deserved their recognition. What a pleasure to be a sponsor of the conference.
