Enterprise Terminology Services

Enterprise Terminology Services (ETS) is a core component of HDR that incorporates a range of terminology systems and provides extensive terminology services to HDR applications, including the following principal features:

Consistent and real-time access to all terminology content - whether standards-based or user-defined.
Support for standards-based terminologies:
- SNOMED, LOINC, and FDB terminologies through a specialized model (referred as Core terminologies in ETS).
- Other terminologies like ICD9, CPT4, and HCPCS through a generic model.
Support for user-defined terminologies.
High level of terminology integration - between different terminologies and between different versions of the same terminology.
Support for user-defined containers of terminology content such as Concept Lists and Classifications. These containers can be used for building application interfaces, constraining and validating attribute values, and generating context-sensitive reports.
Multi language support (MLS) on concept descriptions (except Classifications and editable terminologies).
