Health Language standardizes terminology for Orion's HIE
Orion Health has embedded Health Language’s Language Engine in Orion's Health Information Exchange (HIE), enabling data exchange by mapping data from disparate systems to standardized terminologies.
This ensures that various terms and synonyms that physicians and other clinicians use to describe the same condition are linked, which facilitates communication, documentation and analytics throughout the care delivery cycle, according to Denver-based Health Language.
Language Engine provides access to current versions of more than 100 clinical and administrative code sets, including SNOMED, and provides tools to map proprietary local content into standardized medical terminologies. This allows physicians and nurses to continue using the terms and codes they prefer, while aligning the captured data to a reference standard and integrating updates to those standards with local modifications, said Health Language.
The two companies previously partnered on the statewide implementation of HealthInfoNet, Maine's statewide HIE.
