Abstract

Claims (44)

1 . A computerized method for translating healthcare codes from a first healthcare classification system to a second healthcare classification system, the method comprising:

receiving a first plurality of healthcare codes associated with the first healthcare classification system;

receiving a second plurality of healthcare codes associated with the second healthcare classification system; and

mapping at least one of the first plurality to at least one of the second plurality according to user-defined parameters.

2 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mapping at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes.

3 . The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping is based on a general equivalence mapping (“GEM”).

4 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

classifying the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of health care codes.

5 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

restricting use of at least one of first and second plurality based on a type of user.

6 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

converting the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes.

7 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising:

converting the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes in accordance.

8 . The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising restricting conversion of a mapping to authorized users.

9 . A system, comprising:

one or more computing devices including:

a memory having program code stored therein; and

a processor in communication with the memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code, wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

receiving a first plurality of healthcare codes associated with the first healthcare classification system;

receiving a second plurality of healthcare codes associated with the second healthcare classification system; and

mapping at least one of the first plurality to at least one of the second plurality according to user-defined parameters.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor comprises the additional step of:

mapping at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the mapping is based on a general equivalence mapping (“GEM”).

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor performs the additional step of:

classifying the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of health care codes.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor performs the additional step of:

restricting use of at least one of first and second plurality based on a type of user.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor performs the additional step of:

converting the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes.

15 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the processor performs the additional step of:

converting the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes in accordance.

16 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor performs the additional step of: comprising restricting conversion of a mapping to authorized users.

17 . A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer readable medium further comprising:

code for receiving a first plurality of healthcare codes associated with the first healthcare classification system;

code for receiving a second plurality of healthcare codes associated with the second healthcare classification system; and

code for mapping at least one of the first plurality to at least one of the second plurality according to user-defined parameters.

18 . The product of claim 17 , wherein the mapping is based on a general equivalence mapping (“GEM”).

19 . The product of claim 17 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium comprises:

code for classifying the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of health care codes.

20 . The product of claim 17 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium comprises:

code for converting the mapped at least one of the first plurality of healthcare codes to at least one of the second plurality of healthcare codes.
