TL;DR
Ontoserver is a clinical terminology server implementation that aims to overcome obstacles and contribute to the widespread adoption of standardised clinical terminologies and is used in several organisations throughout Australia.
Abstract
Ontoserver has been designed to overcome some of the challenges that have hindered adoption of standardised clinical terminologies and is used in several organisations throughout Australia. Increasing adoption is an important goal because it will help improve the quality of clinical data, which can lead to better clinical decision support and ultimately to better patient outcomes.

An algorithmic analysis of one particular autocompletion algorithm, called multi-prefix matching algorithm, which suggests terms whose words' prefixes contain all words in the string typed by the user, shows that users need significantly fewer keystrokes when supported by the multi- prefix algorithm than when support by the baseline algorithm.
