Health Promotion in Light of Effective Communication of Health Care

What is it about?

The quality data in health records is one of the important factors in improving the quality of care. On the other hand, quality health records can be considered as a useful tool for effective communication if semantically everybody has the same understanding of its content. This important feature can be realized through the creation of data content standards that are introduced through health care nomenclatures such as SNOMED-CT, IND, LOINC, and health classification systems such as ICD, DSM4, ICDO. In line global management, the specification of preferred vocabulary sources for the contents of the health record in all Health fields is one of the main duties of international organizations like WHO. The effort undertaken to specify such vocabulary items is equal to success in an important challenge that we currently face in semantic interoperability of information and communication technology (ICT).
