Clinical Architecture Introduces Symedical™ Recognize and New Healthcare Content Integration Services at HIMSS10 Convention

Carmel, IN, February 15, 2010 - Clinical Architecture, introduces Symedical^TM Recognize and new healthcare content integration services during the 2010 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) convention.  The company is exhibiting (Booth: 812) at the convention which begins on March 1st at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.

Clinical Architecture is building on its successful introduction of Symedical^TM, the company's computer-assisted terminology mapping tool with the release of Symedical^TM Recognize. The new Symedical^TM service (API) leverages the tool's powerful algorithms to provide real-time mapping of unknown source terms. "The power of Symedical^TM is its ability to reduce the time and effort required to map one clinical terminology to another" said Charlie Harp, chief executive officer of Clinical Architecture. "However, there are many times when the terminologies involved are not known in advance. Symedical^TM Recognize overcomes that challenge by dynamically mapping unknown terms as they are encountered. This new service builds the terminology map automatically over time, expediting the meaningful use of coded terms. The design of Symedical^TM Recognize also accommodates the ability to code free text terms that are encountered as well."

In reaction to market demand, the company is also introducing new healthcare content integration services. "The clinical decision support requirements for meaningful use has made accurate clinical content integration a critical success factor in the market and that's an area where we have considerable experience" said Curt Nickel, director of consulting service for Clinical Architecture. Each Clinical Architecture team member is a veteran of the healthcare content publishing industry. As a result, the company possesses domain specific knowledge and unique skills that are not available elsewhere. "Clinical Architecture consistently provides us with high-value services on time and on budget" said Shari Medina, MD FACEP, Senior Director of Clinical Informatics for Picis. "Our clients have benefited tremendously from the significant industry expertise Clinical Architecture brings to the table."
