OCL Features

Manage terminology in the cloud

• Lower costs by getting rid of unnecessary local terminology servers and benefit from the entire OCL community.
• Access pre-loaded dictionaries, such as the Columbia International eHealth Laboratory's interface terminology, or other custom content ranging from the OpenMRS Starter Set to domain-specific subsets.

One source for terminology up to indicators

• Indicators, quality measures, terminology -- or any definition -- can all be managed in one place.

Collaborative by design

• Open Concept Lab is the first cloud-based global collaborative project to make the benefit of health information standards available to health systems and implementers everywhere.
• Learn from other experts or adapt an existing source to meet your own needs. No more re-inventing the wheel!
• Collaboration within projects and across the organizations and countries is essential to reducing duplicative efforts, lowering costs, and improving health for patients all over the world.

Preferentially focused on the developing world

• Terminology standards benefit health systems globally, but there is an acute need to lower barriers to adopting health informatics best practices in the low- and middle-income countries.

Powerful APIs

• Integrate Open Concept Lab directly into your infrastructure using OCL's APIs.
• Use the OpenMRS-OCL Subscription Module to keep your local OpenMRS synchronized to your dictionary in OCL.
