It allows for: - Improved communication among healthcare providers, which is crucial for continuity of care. - Enhanced documentation that is clear and precise, facilitating better patient outcomes. - The ability to compare and analyze data across different settings and populations, contributing to evidence-based practice. - Support for clinical decision-making by providing a common understanding of terms and interventions. - Increased patient safety by reducing misunderstandings and errors.
