Our Problem Statement

Despite the existence of mature data standards for clinical data, there still exists an unaddressed need for medical vocabulary standardization. Adoption of standard medical terminology for clinical systems is critical to improve interoperability, patient safety, and clinical outcomes and will allow medical practitioners to leverage the promises of precision medicine. Today, entities attempt to solve this problem by creating data “crosswalks.” This approach requires significant human intervention allowing for an adulteration and misinterpretation of data, which at best is an unnecessary expenditure of scarce health IT resources and at worst can compromise patient safety. A standard approach to addressing this problem is necessary.
