Unique advantages
Performance:
HealthTerm is optimized to deliver response times under 200 ms for live lookups on
enterprise wide installations.
Architecture:
Performance
Reliability
Are all your codes for reimbursement purposes
registered correctly?
If not, do you get the full
re-imbursement you are
entitled to?
The integrated ‘Analytics’
gives you the answer!
The solution is based on a modern, open and best practise architecture with standard
components to ensure stability and scale-out and scale-up. For example, if an application
server fails or does not respond, the system will still operate 100% because the application is
based on a farm of clustered application servers. If the amount of end users increases
significantly, HealthTerm can easily be scaled up to increase performance by adding more
application servers or database servers to the same instance.
Standard components include Oracle database, JBOSS application server and Apache web
server. The web application is built on Java J2EE.
HealthTerm is a web application and it offers the following advantages: It is independent of
operating systems and platforms; there’s no need for distribution, installation, upgrading and
uninstallation of client software on the user’s desktop.
Security and reduced maintenance costs:
HealthTerm provides a log of the changes made during content maintenance. Access control
and user rights can be managed in a granular fashion in order to comply with the required
set-up of the system. This also applies to a setup with multiple customers on a single
instance / server. Security can be set on the user, user group and customer level. Customers
can be granted rights to see other customers’ content if relevant. Maintenance costs and time
are significantly reduced as master data, e.g. import of a new ICD-10 release, only needs to
be updated in one source/instance, and new content is updated to all relevant customers
where applicable.
System optimization with Analytics:
With the integrated analytics application you will get an insight into end user behaviour, e.g.
get an overview of searches, and which users use which features in the application. With this
knowledge, the application can be set up to optimize terminologies and pick lists, and adding
synonyms and concepts for your organization.
