SDO - Standards Development Organization. See also ASTM, HL7, IEEE, OASIS, W3C.

Server - Either a software application that performs a specific task (such as EHR, email, website hosting, etc.) or the physical hardware on which the server software application runs, or both. See also ASP, CLIENT-SERVER, PC.

SSL - Secure Sockets Layer (also known as Transport Layer Security) is an encryption protocol which provides secure communications on the Internet. SSL was invented by Netscape for conducting secure electronic commerce and other private asset management transactions. SSL is an important tool that helps keep health data private. See also HTTPS.

SNOMED - The abbreviation, which stands for SYstemized NOmenclature of MEDicine, refers to both the code set used in structured clinical knowledge environments and the organization which owns the code set. SNOMED is a division of the College of American Pathologists.

SOA - In software engineering, a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) leverages distributed and modular program components which communicate via a simple and lightweight communication "service" (hence the name). SOA solutions can be rapidly assembled from ad-hoc components, provide systems engineers with agile options in variable or evolving environments (such as health care), and yet SOA solutions can be robust and scalable as well. SOA solutions are in contrast to monolithic or enterprise solutions which may lack flexibility or adaptability. See also SOAP, WSDL, XML.

SOAP - [1] The structured clinical note format which organizes content in Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Planning (SOAP) categories, first proposed in 1968 by Lawrence Weed, MD, as a feature of the Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR). [2] Simple Object Access Protocol, a distributed message processing solution used extensively to transport data between different and incompatible computer systems.
