Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The harmonization of cardiovascular terminology enables improved clinical communication, optimizes quality assurance, enhances process improvement efforts, facilitates clinical research, and is critical to the development and analysis of registries. [...]the work of the Task Force supports, enables, and advances the organizations' missions, visions, and strategies of key cardiovascular organizations in improving cardiovascular health. The goals of the current publication are 1) to describe recent changes in the methods for construction of data elements, 2) to clarify the current policies of the ACC and AHA regarding the relationships of Task Force and writing group members with industry and other entities, 3) to describe the need for harmonization of data across organizations and disciplines, 4) to articulate our position on the stewardship of cardiovascular terminology and the data concepts thereof, and 5) to describe our roles and approaches to accelerating the interoperability of cardiovascular data across the clinical, research, industry, registry, regulatory, administrative, and public domains.
