We created the terminology development environment that is used Internationally by countries to develop their SNOMED CT extension, and by the IHTSDO for SNOMED CT itself.
We offer three variations of managed services to our clients:
We provide clients with the software tools and infrastructure necessary to for them to develop, edit, and generate periodic releases of SNOMED CT terminology extensions. Fully managed by Informatics, SaaS allows our clients to receive optimum performance without having to do the extra software maintenance legwork.
We provide healthcare and clinical terminology organizations with full authoring, modeling, editing and domain-specific refset creation support for content they seek to include in SNOMED CT extensions and releases.
We assist enterprises in optimizing existing infrastructure by providing fully managed subscription services to SNOMED CT, RxNorm, and LOINC. We help ensure that subscribers have accurate and current version updates to these foundational content terminologies for their electronic health record systems; an essential part of life-critical EHR support.
We deliver a tailored advisory experience to clients interested in obtaining high quality clinical decision support and health information management systems with consultation and design services in these areas: Comprehensive Architecture, Foundational Content, and Comprehensive Tooling.
Our consultation and design services start with discerning the project objectives and needs. We then assess and document the current architecture framework, and use this information to integrate into a comprehensive architecture design that homogenizes a multisystem input allowing for coordinated and compelling decision support output.
We provide expert assistance in selecting the necessary foundational systems, such as RxNorm, SNOMED CT, or LOINC, upon which to build or underpin their electronic health records and clinical decision support tools.
We provide clients with a thorough examination of their environment and needs, followed by a tailored recommendation on how to apply part or all of the Cheitah Suite to meet those needs. We enable a transformation into an optimized and efficient clinical decision support system, containing proper workflow components and comprehensive layers of foundational content.
We train software developers, knowledge-based vendors, and healthcare providers on:
We also offer education and training in the field of SNOMED CT terminology authoring and SNOMED CT extension management.
