6. Terminology

Terminology includes code sets (e.g. ICD-10-CM, HCPCS), value sets (e.g. the ICD-10-CM codes that define Type 2 Diabetes), and reference datasets (e.g. provider NPI lookups).

These datasets are scattered all over the internet, maintained in different data formats, and updated on different frequencies. The Tuva Community maintains these datasets and keeps them up to date.

When you run Tuva the Terminology datasets are automatically loaded into your cloud data warehouse.

The Tuva Project leverages Terminology in data quality tests (e.g. are these ICD-10-CM codes valid?) and in data marts (e.g. definintions for chronic conditions).

Use the Terminology Viewer to view and search through all the datasets included in Terminology.
