Whether you’re thinking about the importance of various healthcare initiatives such as population health management, quality reporting, or clinical trials, value sets are an essential tool for their success. 

However, without the right solution(s) in place, the work to create, organize, and maintain value sets can be highly manual and labor-intensive. This is in part due to process inefficiencies and data ambiguity stemming from inconsistent methods for value set updates and definitions, as well as a lack of centralized storage. 

Fortunately, IMO Precision Sets can help overcome those challenges. 

Why precision is perplexing 

Creating and managing value sets is a complex and time-consuming endeavor. While selecting codes from systems like ICD-10-CM, SNOMED CT®, or LOINC® may seem straightforward, challenges such as incomplete clinical details, diverse data sources, and inadequate data management can present difficulties, even for the most sophisticated organizations.
