Terminology Provenance

Source-backed reporting and analysis connected to the companies, capabilities, authorities, and operating domains it affects.

VSAC and PHIN VADS serve different value-set programs

NLM's VSAC is the central authority and repository for official CMS electronic clinical quality measure value sets.

Teams should identify the governing program before choosing, versioning, or migrating terminology content.
