The Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) is provided by the National
Library of Medicine (NLM), in collaboration with the Office of the
National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
One purpose of Value Sets is to support the 2014 Clinical Quality Measures prescribed for “Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records."
The VSAC provides downloadable access to all official versions of vocabulary value sets
contained in the 2014 Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs). Each value set
consists of the numerical values (codes) and human-readable names
(terms), drawn from standard vocabularies such as SNOMED CT® , RxNorm,
LOINC and ICD-10-CM, which are used to define clinical concepts used in
clinical quality measures (e.g., patients with diabetes, clinical
visit).
