Medline Plus Con nect
is a free service of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This service allows health organizations and health IT providers to link patient portals and electronic health record (EHR) systems to MedlinePlus.gov, an authoritative up-to-date health information resource for patients, families, and health care providers.
Medline Plus Con nect
puts high-quality, context- relevant health information into the hands of patients and health care providers at the point of need by delivering information packages tailored to patients’ diagnoses, medications, and laboratory tests. To achieve this level of customization, Medline Plus Con nect relies on coding standards already in use by health care organizations and health information technology (IT) systems. These standards include: •
ICD-9-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition, Clinical Modification); •
Diseases, 10th edition, Clinical Modification); •
SNOMED CT® (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine, Clinical Terms); •
•
NDC (National Drug Code); and •
LOINC® (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes).
Upon receiving a request, Medline Plus Con nect
leverages these coding standards through manual mappings and search-based processes that tie the codes to relevant patient health information from MedlinePlus.gov and Genetics Home Reference. MedlinePlus.gov brings together information from National Institutes of Health (NIH), other U.S. government agencies, and reputable health information providers. It covers a wide range of conditions and wellness issues, and includes key resources to inform patients about their health: overviews, information on symptoms and treatments, recent health news, clinical trials, and much more. Medline Plus Con nect
currently supports requests for information on diagnoses, drug information, and lab tests in English or Spanish. Medline Plus Con nect is intended for use within the United States health care system and cannot support coding systems not used in the United States. Implementing Medline Plus Con nect Any health IT system or service that uses one or more of these coding standards can implement
. EHR, patient portal, or other health IT system vendors can offer
as a feature or option to their clients. Alternatively, health IT system purchasers or coordinators for hospitals, clinics, provider offices, or other facilities can implement
directly, depending on their administrative rights in their systems. To provide maximum implementation flexibility, NLM makes
available as a web application or a web service. Medline Plus Con nect
needs to be set up only once in a health IT system, because NLM maintains the code-based mappings, topic links, and retrieval technologies. Additional technical information for developers and demonstrations of the Medline Plus Con nect
web application and web service are available online at http://nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/connect/ technical.html .
