MEDICAL CODE TRANSLATION
iSphereMAP
Although the common data model can unify the coding “vocabulary” in EHRs, the coding “dialect” (i.e., the use and interpretation of codes for a particular clinical procedure or diagnosis) may differ across healthcare systems due to heterogeneity in both care practice and financial drivers. The iSphereMAP algorithm generates a mapping of medical codes between two healthcare systems or coding systems, thus improving interoperability and transportability.
