Your Content Delivered as a Service
Why SDOs Are Moving to FHIR Terminology Services for Content Distribution?
✺ Implementers Expect Results
FHIR Terminology Services are the leading global standard for how terminology is distributed and consumed. A live API is preferable to a file download and a manual integration project.
✺ File Distribution Creates Drag
Excel sheets, tab-delimited files, and PDFs force every implementer to parse, map, and re-integrate each release, slowing adoption of your standard.
✺ Infrastructure Isn't Your Mission
Building and staffing a terminology server takes engineering investment that sits outside standards development.
What Does TermHub Do for SDOs?
TermHub acts as your managed distribution partner. You keep full ownership and governance of your content. We run the infrastructure, so you never build servers or hire dedicated staff.
Full control of your content. License, restrict, or open access with fine-grained permissions while retaining complete IP ownership.
Semantic validation across the pipeline. What you publish is exactly what implementers receive.
Usage analytics. See how implementers use your content and which codes they rely on most.
Production-grade FHIR APIs from day one. Including $lookup, $validate-code, $expand, and $translate.
Your release cycles, your versioning. Workflows built around how standards publishers operate.
File downloads still supported. Existing users keep what works while new users adopt the APIs.

Who Is Behind TermHub?
TermHub is built by West Coast Informatics, whose team has spent decades stewarding and implementing the world's most widely used clinical terminologies, including SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC, and ICD-10-CM. This offering was designed from the ground up for standards publishing, not adapted from a general-purpose server.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A hosted environment where a standards organization's code systems, value sets, and mappings are published through FHIR Terminology Service APIs, operated and maintained by a third party rather than the SDO's own engineering team.
-
No. You retain complete IP ownership, licensing control, and governance. TermHub enforces the access rules you define.
-
Yes. TermHub serves native and commonly used file formats alongside FHIR APIs, so the transition doesn't break existing users.
-
There is no infrastructure buildout on your side, so a dedicated instance can serve content as soon as your release files are loaded and validated.
-
Less than a single full-time engineering hire. Contact us for pricing based on your content and user base.
