eHealth for professionals
Despite increasing networking, the exchange and common use of information in the health sector remain problematic. As opposed to the many other branches, clinical data is not structured uniformly, is available in various formats and does not incorporate any automatic indexing. Diagnoses or medical records received must thus often be re-entered into the Clinical Information System (CIS) manually.
Automatic analysis of clinical data renders invaluable services here. Not only does it offer higher efficiency in the exchange of data, but also higher patient safety. All emergency data such as blood group, earlier illnesses or allergies are available immediately. Medical classifications such as ICD10, OPS, SNOMED, Radlex, LOINC or MeSH are taken into consideration for the standardization of clinical data.
Re-use of data spares budgets
Improved data exchange also optimizes the secondary use of information, thus enabling a faster recognition of side effects or intolerance of medications, as well as the typical course of diseases by means of automatic institutional and inter-lingual evaluations. The prevention of costly clinical studies not only saves money, but also reduces above all possible health hazards for patients.

coliquio.de
More than 30,000 doctors now use the independent expert network coloquio.de for an information exchange among field experts in all German-speaking countries. In addition to the possibility of consulting colleagues in difficult and extraordinary cases, doctors can also use coliquio.de to find important medical information for their daily work routine. With the Averbis Search Platform, doctors can quickly and easily access the practical knowledge and experience of their colleagues in the over 39,000 contributions on coliquio.de.

The German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information (Deutsche Institut für Medizinische Dokumentation and Information, DIMDI) commissioned Averbis with the translation of the "Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes" (LOINC). LOINC is a compilation of generally accepted names and identifiers for the description of laboratory and clinic examination and test results. Together with the experts from the field of Laboratory Medicine, Averbis has created a high-grade, quality-tested and externally validated translation of the most important 10,000 LOINC codes. These are available through the official LOINC release of the Regenstrief Institute.

Medical Center Freiburg
TThe Dermatological Clinic of Freiburg University Hospital implements the Averbis Search Platform to research its clinical data, facilitating the location of medical reports which deal with a certain diagnosis. An internal evaluation confirmed the intuitive use of the search: 94 percent of those surveyed doctors indicated that the Averbis system was a considerable facilitation of their daily clinical work. And 100 percent see the significant time saving in their scientific work as a positive effect.
