The CIEL bridge

Map your terms through CIEL to the terminology you need

The CIEL bridge maps by way of CIEL. The Mapper matches each of your local terms to a CIEL concept, then follows CIEL's curated maps from that concept to your target terminology. That includes ICD-10, ICD-11, SNOMED CT, LOINC and RxNorm, and standard OMOP concepts through Athena.

  1. 1

    Your local term

    A row from your spreadsheet

  2. 2

    A CIEL concept

    The Mapper matches your term to CIEL

  3. 3

    Your target code

    Reached through CIEL's curated maps

In the Mapper, the bridge is the OCL CIEL Bridge Terminology, listed as Bridge terminology search when you choose matching algorithms.

In a 100-term ICD-11 evaluation, the CIEL bridge was the strongest single source of correct codes and found 14 that no other algorithm did. Adding the bridge raised exact ICD-11 matches from 42 to 60 of 100.

Bridge terminology search is marked Premium in the Mapper: it's included in the Pro, Team and Enterprise plans. See pricing

What is CIEL?

CIEL is a curated interface terminology from Columbia University, distributed through OCL. Many OpenMRS implementations around the world build their concept dictionaries on it.
