This project is a quick hack to showcase a method for searching the right term in a healthcare codeset, subset or terminology. The intention is to help start a conversation around how a clinical documentation system can be integrated with a search system.
It can be plugged into any terminology or codeset like SNOMED CT, ICD-10, CPT.
Partially based on the Search and Data Entry Guide provided by IHTSDO.
It provides often missed features in clinical term search interfaces like:
- On the fly spell checking
- Search modifiers in the text box (not look for a term, look for a combination etc)
- Auto-complete
- Last searched - popular searches
It was built using Go and python and can be scaled to serve 50+ users on a single instance.
Please note that this code is not production ready.
