Implementation of clinical alerts using a Terminology Server with SNOMED CT in Graph Databases.

This paper described the application of a terminology server (TS) within a health institution in Uruguay, whose architecture is based on SNOMED CT and graph databases (NoSQL). The aim of this project is to apply the use of terminological service from a clinical, statistical, managerial, decision support and research perspective, among others, without compromising performance. Particularly, this article exposes the use of the TS as support for alert systems associated to diabetes mellitus patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
