Semantically Interoperable Documents is more than just NLP!
Semantic Interoperability is more than just Natural Language Processing (NLP). Semantic Interoperability is about creating structured data, codifying the data and packaging the data in the appropriate interoperable format — CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) — so that the data can be used across the enterprise to impact the entire continuum of care. We call this combination Semantically Interoperable Documents, and the engine that powers collaboration — v6SI.

This process starts with collecting (Capture) unstructured documents, which can arise from a variety of sources including system export (EMR, RIS, LIS), traditional transcription, historical paper, clinical data warehouse, etc. BayScribe provides the tools to import data from your HIS systems, from your transcription systems, even from your paper records, as well as utilize our wide variety of documentation tools.
The unstructured notes are then processed by the NLP technology to create Structured Data (Structure). The structured data is then codified against the industry-leading IMO terminology engine (Codify) to apply industry standard codes (including ICD-9/10, SNOMED, RxNorm, CVX, CPT, LOINC). The codes are required for creating the level-3 CDA output (Package) that is so critical to Semantic Interoperability. Once the content is in a CDA format (CCD/C32/HealthStory) it can be delivered to multiple systems for improving timeliness and quality of care, facilitating qualification for clinical trials, populating clinical registries, as well as sharing across Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) for numerous uses.
Semantic Interoperability is more than NLP alone. Much, much more. To get to Semantic Interoperability, you need to get to know BayScribe.
