The Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides downloadable access to all official versions of vocabulary value sets contained in the Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) used in the certification criteria for electronic health record systems ("Meaningful Use" incentive program). Each value set consists of the numerical values (codes) and human-readable names (descriptions), drawn from standard vocabularies such as LOINC, RxNorm and SNOMED CT®, that are used to define clinical data elements used in clinical quality measures (e.g., patients with diabetes, tricyclic antidepressants). The content of the VSAC will gradually expand to incorporate value sets for other use cases, as well as for new measures and updates to existing measures.
美国国立医学图书馆(NLM)的价值集管理中心(VSAC)提供对电子健康记录系统认证标准(“有意义使用”激励计划)中使用的临床质量指标(CQM)所含词汇价值集所有官方版本的可下载访问。每个价值集由从诸如LOINC、RxNorm和SNOMED CT®等标准词汇表中提取的数值(代码)和便于人类阅读的名称(描述)组成,这些用于定义临床质量指标中使用的临床数据元素(例如,糖尿病患者、三环类抗抑郁药)。随着时间推移,VSAC的内容将逐步扩展,纳入适用于其他用例的价值集,以及新指标和现有指标的更新内容。
