Working with EHR Code Sets

You are about 20% of the way through and you have gained some very important skills in dealing with EHR data. Now you'll build even more on those skills as we begin to look at Electronic Health Record Code sets. But before we get started, let's review what will be covered in this lesson.

This lesson will delve into Code Sets in EHR and how to work with them, including:

• Diagnosis Codes
  • IDC10-CM
• Procedure Codes
  • ICD10 - PCS
  • CPT
  • HCPCS
• Medication Codes
  • NDC Codes
  • RXNorm
• Using these codes to group and categorize your datasets
  • Using CCS

This is very important because of how many codes there are in the medical field. If you don't understand the codes, you will likely not get all of and/or the right data you need for creating your models. So get ready for a lot of different codes! You'll be a master at figuring them out and using them to group your data by the time you're done.
