 Course Information
In a world where information can easily be accessed by applying a Google search, mapping unstructured clinical terms or verbatim terms from an adverse event or a drug name to a standard term no longer needs to be an arduous task. One of the challenges of working with coding medical terminology is combining several skills that are diverse from many different disciplines. The user needs to be clinically trained to understand and interpret the meaning of the adverse events or the drug name. An understanding of the normalized database and the multi-axial structure of the hierarchical data is required to navigate the dictionary. The user must also be adept in manipulating the source data and joining this with the proper fields of the dictionary tables to derive at the final mapped data. Expecting users to overcome these hurdles without a clear process or tools can lead to a very laborious and painful process. This paper will address many of the issues confronted when coding terms by demonstrating tried and true methodologies and technologies to automate and make this an efficient easy process. 

It is essential that you have a consistent thesaurus dictionary when performing an analysis on clinical terminologies. This course will show processes to allow clinical users to function optimally with data managers and clinical programmer analysts. Armed with the understanding of the process and the right tools, you can narrow the gap between the different disciplines required to perform mapping decisions in a manner that is as easy as typing a Google search.
