The way hospitals, health systems and physicians deliver care and manage their businesses is being molded by a variety of incentives, penalties and expanded reporting requirements. Much, if not all of these initiatives require unprecedented use and interpretation of the patient data stored in disparate software applications using a mix of standard, proprietary and home-grown terminologies. Increasingly success is defined by those who take control of how they use terminologies to capture, transmit, aggregate and understand patient data.
SYMEDICAL Server enables Healthcare Providers to:
Establish and Maintain Semantic Interoperability
There’s no value in sending and receiving information unless it can be readily understood.
SYMEDICAL Server automates
terminology mapping, making it a normal part of daily operations.
Improve Quality Reporting Processes
One of the biggest challenges of regulatory reporting is simply identifying the targeted patient population. SYMEDICAL Server’s Identify function monitors the flow of data and captures a list of patients that are or may be included in the reporting group.
Increase Operational Efficiency
Widespread terminology variances have long been a source of costly and time consuming waste. SYMEDICAL Server’s Comparative Analytics Tool supports standardization by identifying how supply item lists, formularies and other data sets compare.
Understand Aggregated Clinical and Administrative Data
To derive meaning from aggregated data, the information must be “combinable”, or comparable on a common basis.
SYMEDICAL Server’s Cognition Engine processes each term description to create and store a normalized version for comparison and analysis.
