Technology has revolutionized the health care industry and changed the manner
in which health care services are delivered. As patient safety and privacy have become
two of the main objectives in health care organizations, technology such as health
information systems have played a key role in reaching these objectives. Users have
been forced to learn the various terms and abbreviations associated with these health
information systems, and understand their importance to deliver quality care. The
following paragraphs will provide definitions for the following abbreviations: AMR, CMR,
CMS, CMS-1500, CPT, DRG, EPR, HL7, ICD-9, and UB-92. In addition, the importance
of each term will be discussed.

Conclusion
As concern over patient safety and privacy increases, health care providers have
turned to technology, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. However, users must first learn the different abbreviations and
understand their meaning before implementing health information systems. In addition,
users must understand the importance of each term to deliver quality care. Some
abbreviations users must be able to define include AMR, CMR, CMS, CMS-1500, CPT,
DRG, EPR, HL7, ICD-9, and UB-92
