Procedure concept sets are collections of standardized terms, codes, and concepts that represent medical procedures performed on patients. These concept sets help organize, categorize, and standardize the documentation and analysis of healthcare procedures across various research studies, clinical settings, and data systems.
Procedures can include diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical interventions, and they play a central role in patient care. Standardizing procedure data allows for consistent tracking of healthcare activities, comparison of treatment outcomes, and analysis of healthcare utilization.
