Convergent Medical Terminology Full

**Overview**
Convergent Medical Terminology (CMT) Release files include descriptions that are used as display names for Clinicians in Kaiser Permanente's electronic medical record, corresponding patient display names that the members see in their PHR portal, and mappings to other terminologies.

**Description**
This data package is Kaiser Permanente's (KP) enterprise-wide medical terminology solution, referred to as our Convergent Medical Terminology (CMT). Initially developed to serve the needs of a regional electronic health record, CMT has evolved into a core KP asset, serving as the common terminology across all applications. CMT serves as the definitive source of concept definitions for the organization, provides a consistent structure and access method to all codes used by the organization, and is KP's language of interoperability, with cross-mappings to regional ancillary systems and administrative billing codes. The core of CMT is comprised of SNOMED CT, laboratory LOINC, and First DataBank drug terminology. CMT includes datasets from the following categories: Cardiology, Dermatology and respiratory system, gastroenterology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, urology, nephrology, injury, mental health, neurology, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pediatrics, radiology and vascular procedures.

**Benefits**
- cross map sets provide bi-directional translations between cmt and ancillary applications and administrative billing codes.
- context sets provide subsets of cmt for use in specific contexts.
- easy usability
- "interface" terminology is differentiated from "reference" terminology
- easy for clinicians to find the concepts they need
- the immediate value of coded data is apparent to clinician user
- well defined approach to terminology extensions

- CMT Vascular Procedures List Subset inlcudes 80 concepts that Kaiser Permanente uses within the KP electronic medical record. This file also includes mappings to CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes. SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms) concepts are based on the March 2017 United States Edition, which includes the January 2017 International Release.

**Data Engineering Overview**
**We deliver high-quality data**
- Each dataset goes through 3 levels of quality review
- 2 Manual reviews are done by domain experts
- Then, an automated set of 60+ validations enforces every datum matches metadata & defined constraints
- Data is normalized into one unified type system
- All dates, unites, codes, currencies look the same
- All null values are normalized to the same value
- All dataset and field names are SQL and Hive compliant
- Data and Metadata
- Data is available in both CSV and Apache Parquet format, optimized for high read performance on distributed Hadoop, Spark & MPP clusters
- Metadata is provided in the open Frictionless Data standard, and its every field is normalized & validated
- Data Updates
- Data updates support replace-on-update: outdated foreign keys are deprecated, not deleted

**Our data is curated and enriched by domain experts**

Each dataset is manually curated by our team of doctors, pharmacists, public health & medical billing experts:
- Field names, descriptions, and normalized values are chosen by people who actually understand their meaning
- Healthcare & life science experts add categories, search keywords, descriptions and more to each dataset
- Both manual and automated data enrichment supported for clinical codes, providers, drugs, and geo-locations
- The data is always kept up to date – even when the source requires manual effort to get updates
- Support for data subscribers is provided directly by the domain experts who curated the data sets
- Every data source’s license is manually verified to allow for royalty-free commercial use and redistribution.
