Abstract

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, positioned the Meaningful Use of interoperable Electronic Health Records as a critical goal and encouraged nationwide EHR adoption. The Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) initiative recommended the following three terminologies for EHRs: SNOMED CT, LOINC, and RxNorm to meet the Meaningful Use objectives. All three are integrated within the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), designed and maintained by the US National Library of Medicine.
