The Interoperability and Technologies Team has published the ATIC catalogue on the Terminological Server of the Department of Health of Catalonia

The Interoperability and Technologies Area of the TIC Salut Social Foundation actively participates in the publication and updating of catalogues for the Department of Health’s Terminological Server. This year  ATIC Terminology catalogues and Lexicons have been published.

The Terminological Server was created in response to the need to have reference catalogues and vocabularies that allow semantic integration between health centres’ different information systems. As detailed by the Department of Health, the server makes it possible to manage suppliers’ own catalogues in communication through the interoperability platform and to define equivalences between local and reference catalogues. It makes it possible to consult the Department of Health’s reference catalogues, and spread knowledge of existing terminologies at the national and international level, as well as the semantic solutions applied by other providers.

ATIC Terminology Catalogues

The foundation’s Interoperability and Technologies Team, together with the Department of Health’s Catalogues Area, have been working this year on the first publication of ATIC Terminology catalogues on the Terminological Server.

They have specifically published two catalogues: one containing all the terms of the Main Areas (ATIC Main Areas Catalogue) and another with all the terms from the Secondary Areas, in version 5.07 (ATIC Secondary Areas Catalogue).

ATIC Terminology comprises a set of knowledge tools for the generation of data and accurate information about the process of providing nursing care and its results for individual, group, community and population health. The purpose of this terminology is to aid the complete representation of the process of providing care and nursing interventions in health care information systems, as well as analytical exploitation for clinical safety, improvement processes, research and innovation in health care.

Lexicon Catalogues

The teams from the foundation and the Department of Health have also updated and published the lexicons on Allergies, COVID-19, Nuclear Medicine and Mental Health.

The Department of Health’s Linguistic Planning Service and TERMCAT have created these lexicons, which health centres can now consult both on the Terminological Server and in the corresponding sections of the iSalut Clinical Dictionary.
