If you can’t understand and analyze health data, how can you take advantage of data repositories?

CTA has functional health expertise combined with data analysis and modeling proficiency that transforms health data into insight. Whether seeking understanding in drug safety, bio-surveillance, or other critically important national health issues, informed analysis transforms historical and contemporary health data into valuable knowledge.

CTA’s experts are fluent in multiple medical vocabularies:

  • HL7, currently the selected standard for the interfacing of clinical data in most institutions and the most commonly used in the world;
  • SNOMED, the licensed standardized medical vocabulary available for free use in the United States  and approved by HHS in 2003; and
  • LOINC, another HHS-approved designated standards for use in U.S. federal government systems for the electronic exchange of clinical health information.

CTA is also experienced in the Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) data standards, a collaborative effort to adopt health information interoperability standards, particularly health vocabulary and messaging standards, for implementation in federal government systems. CTA’s engineers are fluent with CHI’s 20 adopted uniform standards for electronic exchange of clinical information to be used across the federal health enterprise.

With experience in health data analysis and modeling, competence in approved, standardized medical vocabularies, and adeptness with CHI, CTA has an unparalleled ability to plumb vast amounts of data for relevant intelligence.
