Target Health

User Friendly Medical Encoding Tool

Target Encoder® is a secure, user-friendly, web-based coding tool, to code CRF terms to MedDRA and WHODRUG. Once CRF terms are inputted into the System, each CRF term is searched in the designated MedDRA or WHODRUG database.

If multiple matches are found, the system gives a list of possible matches. The user can select a match from the list. The manually entered term is then added to the user-defined dictionary. If no matches are found, the coder manually refines the term to match it with an appropriate term. Once this match is made, it is placed into the user-defined dictionary. All manual coding can be reversed and a list of automatically and manually coded terms are presented as a report.
