Wolters Kluwer Health, a global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, will demonstrate how its Health Language® Enterprise Terminology Platform can be used to integrate normalisation services into health IT systems in Booth #1346 during the HIMSS14 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, FL, February 23 - 27.
In today's healthcare landscape, patient information is spread across multiple communities and IT systems. These systems often contain varying terminology platforms - from clinical to administrative to those based on standards or localised clinical concepts. These disparate terminology lexicons must be normalised into a standard language so that the meaning of the data is unambiguous.
The automated translation algorithms within the Health Language Enterprise Terminology Platform can be used to normalise full catalogues or distinct elements from cryptic and poorly maintained source data into standard terminologies. A web-based access portal enables collaboration on translation and task review while also maintaining full terminology content versioning and a complete audit trail.
