Unlock maximum insight from uncoded and free text clinical terms buried in digital health records

Varying and uncoded clinical terms require standardization for interpretation to be reliable and accurate.

The Convert API’s terminology standardization links ontologies which can then be enriched with industry code sets.

Codes for LIPID Panel (HDL, LDL, Cholesterol, Triglycerides)

To maximize utility across applications and systems, uncoded, proprietary-coded, or free text source terms from patient records are mapped to industry code sets like ICD-10-CM, SNOMED, and LOINC®.


Quantifiable enhancements to your clinical data

Example of the amount of codes added to patient records from a 110,000 member health plan over 18 months:

Power more accurate and efficient medical record reviews

The Convert API drastically reduces the burden of medical record reviews by consolidating duplicate records into a clean and organized patient record with summaries for conditions, diagnoses, procedures, tests and medications so reviewers know where to look.

Use data from diverse sources and formats across applications

Make data work with your existing tools and systems without costly upgrades. The Convert API transforms your files into a file format like FHIR(R4), CDA, or PDF, ensuring high ingestion success and usability across systems.

Real-world patient data transformation success stories

  • A large payvider streamlines patient records to improve care quality and coordination

    Concerned about the time and resources needed to ingest and aggregate direct clinical feeds from multiple sources, a large payvider (payer-provider partnership) deployed CareEvolution’s APIs, including the Convert API, to ingest, aggregate, and enrich patient data from various sources to produce a comprehensive, up-to-date patient record. Providers and members now have ‘real-time’ access to lab and imaging reports, medication details, claims, and clinical encounter information in their workflow. Analytically ready data streamlines performance improvement efforts and reporting. The platform also facilitates real-time acute and post-acute care tracking, generating FHIR notifications to alert the care management team upon admission or discharge to drive more efficient care coordination.

  • A well known national Health plan Merges Enriched Records for 46 million members to enhance risk adjustment and care management

    A well-known national health plan adopted CareEvolution’s APIs to create consolidated and enriched master patient records for its 46+ million members, connecting over 2,800 providers, 240 data sources and 7.5 billion claims. The organization successfully leverages the platform for AI, machine learning, risk adjustment, quality program development, care management, member engagement, collaboration across benefit offerings, and clinical trials.

  • A health tech vendor faced the challenge of managing and consolidating extensive medical histories for patients

    This health tech company ingests large volumes of patient records from over 600,000 providers, with individual files averaging 500 pages and often spanning 30 or more CDA documents, sometimes reaching as high as 700 CDAs. To streamline the aggregation and eliminate redundant content, they adopted the Convert API. By using the Convert API, they dramatically reduced file sizes and page counts while maintaining data integrity. For instance, one patient’s medical record, originally 7,342 pages, was consolidated into a single, de-duplicated 600-page PDF. This transformation optimized workflows, improved usability, and significantly enhanced document management efficiency.

  • A patient data aggregator creates enriched master patient records in multiple output formats for use across departments and applications

    Built to serve multiple patient data use cases across operational departments, this health technology company focuses solely on creating a rich network of patient data for multiple purposes across numerous markets. They needed a partner with a highly scalable API that could take multiple patient records, harmonize them, normalize code sets and medications, and make them available in multiple output formats from FHIR, CDA, to OMOP. It was also critical that their partner offer modern “software” SaaS pricing vs high historical costs associated with manual processes. They sought to eliminate costs and enable mass adoption of harmonized, cleansed patient data.
