Visit Concept Sets

Visits concept sets are groupings of terms, codes, or concepts that represent different types of healthcare visits or encounters between patients and healthcare providers. These concept sets are designed to standardize the categorization and analysis of visits within healthcare research, ensuring that researchers can consistently identify, classify, and analyze data related to patient visits across various healthcare settings. These concept sets may include different types of healthcare encounters such as outpatient visits, inpatient visits, telemedicine visits, preventative visits, or emergency department visits. Concept sets for visits may also include attributes related to the visit itself such as duration, setting, and outcome.
