Modern solutions
to codify health
information

Work with IQVIA’s Center for Health Data Semantics to overcome data fragmentation:

• Transformative strategies and modern tools: Ad-hoc approaches fuel “data debt”, hinder agility, and create barriers to AI-driven innovation. IQVIA helps you modernize how you maintain the meaning of terms and concepts in your data.
• Information interoperability at scale: By dramatically improving your ability to codify, curate, and cleanse data, you become faster and nimbler in how you leverage health information within your organization and across the broader ecosystem.
• Alignment with data coding standards: Implement an approach that aligns with applicable data coding standards, such as SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC, CDISC, and MedDRA.

Client success: NHS England

IQVIA’s Center for Health Data Semantics helped NHS England improve the quality of patient care delivery with an integrated solution for streamlining management and publication of SNOMED CT for more than 1 million concepts spanning clinical, drug, and pathology data. Key results included:

• 99% reduction in release integration time:
• Integration and release of authoring changes was reduced from 12 weeks to a daily automated build.

• Increased productivity with 350% increase in release frequency: 
• The number of releases increased from 2 to 7 annually.

• Reduced authoring stress: 
• More frequent but individually smaller releases enables the authoring workload to be smoothed out over the full year. There are now many smaller deadlines instead of two enormous ones.

• Elimination of faulty releases:
• Automated full nightly builds ensured ongoing quality assurance and has eliminated the need for patch releases.

• 2-day turnaround for unscheduled emergency releases:
• The system allows for a full, unscheduled release to be completed in 2 days, compared to months previously.
