IMO Core Periop

Optimize surgical scheduling and perioperative processes.

IMO Core Periop strengthens the surgical dictionary to help schedule procedures with greater detail, ensure OR efficiency, and maximize reimbursement.

The Challenge

Inconsistent surgical procedure data can create workflow inefficiencies

Procedure terms and their corresponding codes are regularly updated and modified when performing tasks like prior authorization, scheduling, measuring case durations, maintaining preference cards, and billing.

Without a well-maintained, centralized source of terms and standard codes, data becomes inconsistent and creates inefficiencies that impact an organization’s bottom line.
