Symedical®
A Single Source for Healthcare
Data Quality
Symedical is an innovative, vendor-neutral solution designed to improve healthcare data quality, provide a platform to enable the aggregation of clinical data, automate semantic normalization and interoperability, and enrich your data to make it meaningful and actionable.
Symedical Healthcare Data Quality Suite
Symedical is a powerful software solution designed to improve the quality of healthcare data. It enables enterprises to manage, organize and improve the quality and usability of clinical data at scale in a fraction of the time it would take an informatics team to do this work manually. Symedical simplifies much of the necessary work to achieve data liquidity including repetitive tasks like searching terminology standards, mapping data, and sifting through unstructured text found in thousands of patient records. It empowers informatics professionals to better use their time to derive actionable insights and compile reporting measures from electronic health record (EHR) data.
Symedical incorporates advanced rules-based processes and collective reasoning to deliver semi-automated terminology management, semantic interoperability, and data normalization solutions all in one convenient place.
Terminology Management Contributes to Better Patient Safety and Reporting

Terminology Management
Spreadsheets are not an efficient way to manage vital healthcare information. This data quickly becomes outdated as updates to standard terminologies are published at various intervals. Symedical solves the data quality problem in healthcare by providing a terminology management platform that serves as a single source of truth for enterprise clinical data.

Content Updates
Symedical’s content portal provides access to automatic updates of standard terminologies including, SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC, RxNorm and others in one easy place. It eliminates the work of searching and downloading individual vocabularies, saving your team valuable time. You can view current terms at the click of a button, how the terminologies change, and the impact those changes may have on your enterprise.

Terminology Mapping
Symedical possesses a powerful mapping engine that uses sophisticated algorithms and critical reasoning to automate terminology mapping of entire domains. The map manager validation tool sends messages to alert users of inconsistencies or missing information. This allows you to prioritize your workflow and focus your resources right where you need them.

Value Set Authoring
Value set authoring helps healthcare enterprises identify subsets of patients for clinical data support, quality measurement and analytics. Your team can create data value sets to meet the needs of your organization. Our content team has built thousands of high demand data value sets that are kept up to date with common terminology standards which are available for immediate use. Save time by taking advantage of this data value set library so your team can focus on the actionable insights this data provides.
Semantic Normalization Enables Meaningful Interoperability
Symedical simplifies the process of normalizing data across a healthcare enterprise. The platform semantically normalizes the terminologies and leverages that along with other methods to automate a majority of the standardization process. This dramatically saves time and associated costs. This clean data can then be easily understood and analyzed by clinicians and informatics professionals.
Symedical is compatible with all EHR systems. It serves as the single source of truth for a healthcare enterprise and creates a consistent, semantically normalized output across standard and local terminologies.
Symedical’s Advanced Features Turn Your Data into an Asset

SIFT
As much as 80% of clinical information is stored in unstructured text.
Clinical Architecture’s SIFT tool uses clinical natural language processing to detect medically relevant information within unstructured text and return coded, actionable information in a fraction of the time it would take a clinician to read through volumes of patient records. Improve clinical documentation, clinical decision support, and population health by finding the important information you need in your unstructured text.

Inferencing

Symedical’s Advanced Features Turn Your Data into an Asset

SIFT
Clinical data is quickly and easily transformed into an accurate, reliable asset using Symedical. But that’s not all this software is designed to do. Advanced modules can be added on to the Symedical core for deeper analysis and understanding.

INFERENCING
Inferencing is a robust tool to help your organization gain deeper insights into your clinical data. Inferencing applies rules-based logic to your data to draw assertions, provide recommendations and instance evidence. One use case for inferencing is employing rules across a clinical data set to detect undiagnosed or undocumented patient conditions. Once these patients are identified, action can be taken to optimize health outcomes and quality measure reporting. Gain valuable and actionable insights using Clinical Architecture’s inferencing tool.

ELEMENT SET MANAGER
Gain deeper understanding of structured patient data and improve population health, analytics and clinical decision support with data value sets. Common types of value sets include clinical rollup where all value set members indicate a common clinical need; lookup list designed to provide response options to a question; and catalog subset which may represent a large list of assorted concepts. Each of these value set types are supported by Symedical Element Set Manager to power clinical data enabled decision making.
How Symedical Solves Your Data Quality Challenges
Cultivating data quality requires commitment to understanding, managing and refining all the information in your healthcare system. It is an on-going pursuit rather than a one-time project. Symedical is an innovative data quality solution that transforms clinical data into a valuable asset to drive better patient outcomes, quality measures and operational initiatives.
