1. A system comprising:
- a first software component configured to receive a user-provided description for a clinical medical error category;
a second software component configured to associate a unique identifier with the user-provided description; and
a third software component comprising a mapping of a plurality of unique identifiers to a plurality of corresponding portions of two or more taxonomies for classifying clinical medical errors.

Abstract
Interoperability across two or more heterogeneous clinical medical error taxonomies can be improved by associating categories in various taxonomies with one or more categories in a master taxonomy. These associations can be expressed using a unique identifier, e.g., a number that identifies one or more categories in the master taxonomy. Various aspects of the associations and/or one or more master taxonomies can be modified by users of a system employing embodiments of the technologies described herein. Searches of clinical medical error records can also be aided using the technologies described herein.
