As healthcare increasingly depends on structured clinical data, the lack of a standardized pathway from clinical terminology to administrative coding continues to limit automation and interoperability. This session introduces the AMA’s SNOMED CT to CPT mapping initiative and explains how it enables a computable translation from clinician-documented concepts to billable services. Attendees will learn how this approach can reduce administrative burden, improve coding accuracy, and support key downstream functions such as revenue cycle management, quality measurement, and AI-driven documentation. The presentation will also explore practical use cases and prioritization strategies for implementation. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how HIM professionals can play an active role in advancing and applying these mapping solutions.
