What is ClinicalTermMap?

ClinicalTermMap is a centralized datebase that standardizes medication,laboratory and diagnostic data for multiple and diverse brands of EHR systems across hospitals. There are three(3) main segments that drive ClinicalTermMap:

1. Medications - used to standardize internal medication name/NDC mapping with the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Example:Some medications can have multiple names. Ziagen is also known as Abacavir, or Abacavir Sulfate.

2. Laboratory - used to give lab procedures a way to be given multiple names/synonyms(LOINC Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes synonyms like keywords that physician’s may use to refer to a lab test). Example: A laboratory procedure listed as “CBCw auto differential panel” might be called a “Diff” or “Complete Blood Count” by another physician.

3. Diagnostics - used to give imaging and diagnoses a way to be given multiple name/synonyms for LOINC(Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes)and share across EHRs. Example: An “Abdomen x-ray AP right lateral-decubitus”might be refered to as “Abdominal” by another physician.
