The power of specialized terminologies in precision medicine
Read time: 10 min
Summary
Foundational code systems, such as ICD-10-CM, are essential to healthcare documentation; however, in specialty domains like oncology, behavioral health, and rare disease research, they are simply insufficient.
This insight brief examines how specialized terminologies – including ICD-O-3.2, DSM-5-TR®, and Mondo/OMIM – enable clinicians to document with greater precision, producing more accurate and usable clinical data beyond the point of care.
What you'll learn
Where foundational code systems fall short in specialty care
How specialty terminologies support accurate documentation and regulatory needs
Why precision language improves data quality for real-world evidence, research, and patient access to emerging therapies
