Wolters Kluwer Health Language Platform to Maximize the Value of Health Data for Organizations Using Microsoft Azure

Wolters Kluwer Health Language Platform, a FHIR Terminology Server, enables interoperability to ensure quality healthcare data is leveraged across health plans, providers, and HIT vendors for analytics applications

The healthcare industry generates approximately 30% of the world’s data volume.i Unfortunately, this data is often coded using a varied number of coding systems which makes it difficult to consolidate, standardize and deduplicate data for continuity of care, analytics, and AI applications. Wolters Kluwer Health announces its Health Language Platform, a FHIR Terminology Server that will work with Microsoft Azure Health Data Services FHIR service to help customers enrich and standardize their healthcare data with medical ontologies on Microsoft Azure. Wolters Kluwer Health Language Platform enables customers to leverage its foundational expertise and sophisticated, proven abilities to transform disparate, messy healthcare data into clean, standardized, and interoperable data and insights.

“Healthcare vendors have trillions of data points from which to potentially gain population health insights and advance value-based care, but what’s critically needed now is the technology to extract the value,” said Stacey Caywood, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health. “Data is the common language unifying healthcare, and through our collaboration with Microsoft, we’re making it possible for healthcare leaders to transform troves of data into actions and outcomes to meet today’s strategic objectives and to power tomorrow’s digital health innovations.”

Accelerating future healthcare innovation on Microsoft Azure

Healthcare data must be clean and use common terminology standards in order to train AI applications, to realize the promise of value-based care, or to simply share vital patient data across organizations. The Health Language platform enables Microsoft customers such as health insurers, healthcare providers, and health IT vendors to leverage a single source for the management, maintenance, and mapping of their healthcare vocabularies to ensure accuracy, reliability, and optimized performance on the cloud. Health Language achieves this by providing a FHIR terminology server that adheres to the FHIR specs (4.0.1) outlined in the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) C**** Act.

Extracting meaning from healthcare data

As stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystems work to build out population health analytics and trusted AI models, a well-architected terminology server is essential. Semantic interoperability, a foundational element of the Health Language platform, creates a common vocabulary that paves the way for accurate and reliable communication across IT applications and is a central component of a healthcare big data ecosystem.
