***We would focus on ICD 10
In the age of digital healthcare, the use of standardized data collection and exchange methods has become essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of health information. This activity will focus on exploring the advantages and disadvantages of two commonly used healthcare data standards: Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). By the end of the activity, you will gain an understanding of the importance of healthcare data standards for achieving interoperable data exchange within and across healthcare organizations.
Instructions:

Choose one healthcare data standard to focus on, either SNOMED CT or ICD-10. Research and become familiar with the purpose of the standard and the types of data it is designed to collect or exchange.
Research and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen standard. Consider questions such as:
What are the potential benefits of using this standard for data collection and exchange?
What are the limitations or challenges associated with this standard?
How does this standard compare to other healthcare data standards?
Write a minimum of 2 pages analyzing your chosen healthcare data standard, using the APA 7 style guide for formatting and citations. Your analysis should include at least two academic sources to support your arguments.
In your analysis, make sure to draw conclusions about the importance of healthcare data standards for ensuring accurate, reliable, and interoperable data exchange within and across healthcare organizations. Consider the implications of these standards for healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients.
