Information Sheet

Tool NameRosetta Terminology Mapping Management System (RTMMS)
DescriptionThe NIST Rosetta Terminology Mapping Management System (RTMMS)—often referred to as the RTM Management Service—is a web-based infrastructure and database that enables semantic interoperability for medical devices. When a bedside monitor or ventilator streams a patient’s vital signs, every receiving system must understand exactly what those numbers mean. RTMMS acts as the definitive, centralized registry that translates and maps disparate medical device outputs into a single, unified data language.
