We Help You Set Up Terminology Servers for Healthcare Data Interoperability

TechVariable helps provider networks, payers, and healthtech companies centralize clinical coding systems using modern, standards-compliant terminology servers laying the foundation for consistent data exchange, accurate analytics, and AI-readiness.

The Necessity

Why It Matters

To ensure semantic interoperability, reduce mapping errors, and future-proof your data infrastructure, it’s essential to:

Normalize clinical terms across EHRs, labs, and payers

Map local codes to standard vocabularies (LOINC, SNOMED, ICD, RxNorm)

Serve FHIR-based terminology APIs to downstream systems

Support real-time code lookup, translation, and validation

Our Solutions

What We Can Help You Build

We help you set up scalable and standards-compliant terminology infrastructure, including:

Terminology Server Implementation

We help deploy and configure open-source or commercial FHIR Terminology Servers (like Ontoserver, Snowstorm, or Apelon DTS) tailored to your infrastructure and access needs.

FHIR-Based Terminology APIs

We expose search, validate, and translate APIs for terminology services using HL7 FHIR standards—enabling seamless integration with your internal systems, apps, and analytics engines.

Vocabulary Curation and Versioning

We help set up automated processes to ingest, validate, and update reference vocabularies (e.g. SNOMED CT releases, ICD-10-CM updates) with audit trails.

Code System Mapping

We configure and manage mapping tables across code systems—enabling conversion between local codes and standardized vocabularies.

Terminology Governance Interfaces

We build admin portals for terminology stewards and data managers to curate mappings, apply changes, and track usage across systems.

Built for Standards and Interoperability

Our implementations adhere to healthcare data standards like HL7 FHIR, LOINC, SNOMED CT, ICD, and RxNorm.

We also integrate with major EHR platforms and support multi-lingual, regional extensions when required.

Our Process

How We Work With You

Our delivery process is collaborative and modular:
Assess Your Vocabulary Needs

We begin with a discovery phase to analyze your data sources, code systems in use, and interoperability goals.

Design Terminology Architecture

We recommend architecture choices based on usage volume, latency requirements, and security/compliance needs.

Implement and Integrate

We install, configure, and test your terminology server, and expose the right endpoints for clinical and analytics apps.

Build Management Interfaces

We develop admin consoles or dashboards to allow business and clinical teams to manage mappings and translations in real time.

Enable Ongoing Updates and QA

We help you set up automated pipelines to fetch new vocabulary versions and validate changes before rollout.

Use-Cases

What is Possible With TechVariable

We tailor terminology solutions to meet your exact regulatory, technical, and organizational needs.
