Precision in language has become critically important with the evolution of the electronic medical record and proliferation of measurement in vital statistics and health care. Taking the opportunity to standardize clinical definitions is a fundamental step in building a robust national data infrastructure that is useful and useable for clinicians and patients. The reVITALize Initiative leads and coordinates a national multidisciplinary movement to standardize obstetric data definitions for written and verbal clinical communication, electronic health record data capture, vital statistics and public health surveillance, measurement, quality improvement, reporting, and research.
随着电子病历的发展和生命统计数据和医疗保健中测量技术的普及，语言的精确性变得至关重要。利用这个机会使临床定义标准化是建立一个强大的国家数据基础设施的基本步骤，该基础设施对临床医生和患者都是有用且可用的。reVITALize 倡议引领并协调了一项全国性的多学科运动，旨在为书面和口头临床交流、电子健康记录数据采集、生命统计数据和公共卫生监测、测量、质量改进、报告和研究标准化产科数据定义。
