About VisualStrata®
The VisualStrata healthcare informatics platform aggregates, curates and intelligently visualizes patient diagnostic, treatment, and clinical information to optimize patient care coordination and treatment planning.
VisualStrata is a SaaS-based healthcare informatics solution from XIFIN, Inc. With XIFIN having more than 20 years of IT experience in healthcare, the XIFIN VisualStrata team is uniquely equipped to integrate diagnostic, clinical and financial data using an informatics approach so that users can realize the full value of rich healthcare data sets.
VisualStrata incorporates a knowledge engineering framework that consists of a collection of technologies (components and services) that exchange and manage images and textual data from different modalities and specialties across the healthcare continuum. At the heart of the framework is knowledge representation through annotation services as a key function to support multi-disciplinary team (MDT) collaboration, case review and patient treatment planning. The power of the annotation methodology enables indexing of non-destructive labels, captions or other collections of annotations to facilitate intelligent searches of annotations as well as any derived meaning from the knowledge contained in the annotations, groups of annotations and any sematic relationships between the data to which the annotations are linked.
The VisualStrata team has decades of expertise in healthcare information technology and medical knowledge engineering. The team consists of biomedical informatics subject matter experts, information architects, and software engineers with experience in building tools for promoting medical collaboration and integration of semantically linked medical data in a stable, secure, scalable and extensible, SaaS-based platform.
