Promoting Learning Health System Cycles by Optimizing EHR Data Clinical Concept Encoding Processes.

Electronic health records (EHRs) and other real-world data (RWD) are critical to accelerating and scaling care improvement and transformation. To efficiently leverage it for secondary uses, EHR/RWD should be optimally managed and mapped to industry standard concepts (ISCs). Inherent challenges in concept encoding usually result in inefficient and costly workflows and resultant metadata representation structures outside the EHR.
