摘要

In response to the evolving dynamics of healthcare, this research underscores the need for robust solutions to facilitate the exchange of clinical terminology, ensuring seamless communication and interoperability across healthcare systems. Terminology servers are pivotal in standardising and managing terminology, ensuring consistent communication and knowledge sharing. We must choose a modern, highly customisable, multilingual terminology server that supports FHIR and standard terminologies. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges and limitations of existing clinical terminology exchange methods. We evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of prominent terminology servers. The findings reveal crucial insights into the current landscape of terminology management solutions, uncovering limitations and potential gaps. As a result, the article concludes with a compelling argument for the need to explore and develop a new enhanced terminology server solution. This exploration responds to the evolving demands of the modern healthcare industry and sets the stage for future advancements in clinical terminology management.
