Imagine you are an HIM Compliance Manager for a large hospital system, and you are

record (EHR). During your research of clinical process modeling, you learned about how

hospitals utilize the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) which is considered
a core data set for hospital reporting. The UHDDS contains a data dictionary where the
principle diagnosis, a data element, is defined along with its allowable value, an ICD-9-
CM code. Based on your knowledge, create a data integration strategy that will ensure
data are in a format that will satisfy the hospital’s integration needs.
