Client Challenge

To foster fundamental creative discoveries, innovative research strategies, and their applications as a basis for ultimately protecting and improving health, National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides leadership in directing programs for the exchange of information in medicine and health that enable interoperability between computer systems. 

UMLS integrates and distributes key terminology, classification and coding standards, and associated resources to promote creation of more effective and interoperable biomedical terminologies (UWDA, UMD, SPN, SNOMED CT, ICD, HL7, LOIC) and information systems and services, including electronic health records.

NLM engaged SCI to provide custom computer programming and software development services to the Application and Medical Language Branches for several applications including:

  • The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)
  • Disaster Patient Data Capture Prototype
  • Disaster Patient Tracking Prototype
  • Disaster Patient Data Exchange Prototype
  • Web-based interactive mapping and reporting outreach application
