TermWorks Web Services

Standardization. One of the biggest challenges of a successful MEDITECH clinical application implementation is the need to review and standardize data. Across units, departments, facilities and the greater continuum of care, it is clear that healthcare is moving forward with data sharing and interoperability.

Facilities typically start by pulling together forms and evaluating the terminology that is currently in use. Next, weeks and months go by as a project team attempts to standardize on their own, spending time debating and negotiating to identify common terms. Apelon’s TermWorks provides instant access to standard healthcare terminologies such as SNOMED CT, ICD-9, RxNORM and LOINC (and more) that will end the debate and ensure your standards are based on nationally recognized and accepted clinical terminology.

How will it work for you?
Let's take MEDITECH's EDM Module as an example:

Because the MEDITECH EDM Module is chief complaint driven, one of your biggest tasks in the system building process is to compile, validate and standardize your list of chief complaints. Take your facility's existing set of chief complaints, enter them into TermWorks easy to use EXCEL- based search tool, and be presented with a list for comparison based on national standards.

Apeon's TermWorks tool will also assist you in standardizing data for your Nursing, PCS, P-DOC other MEDITECH clinical applications.

Don't take on the challenge of standardizing your data or optimizing existing clinical dictionaries without Apelon's TermWorks by your side!
