Fresh perspectives on clinical AI, interoperability, healthcare data standardization, and more, from the experts at IMO.
In creating not just one, but multiple, vaccines for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in under a year, pharmaceutical researchers and developers achieved a remarkable feat. But there’s still a challenge ahead: distributing and administering the vaccine across the country, while also managing a flood of inoculation data.
As vaccines for COVID-19 become more readily available, the possibility of getting back to life before the pandemic seems closer every day. That said, it’s still been over a year since the virus first appeared, requiring a slew of new terms and codes to describe not only the disease itself, but also adjacent tests, vaccines, and comorbidities. The following infographic shows how the industry and IMO responded to the clinical terminology needs of the past year.
At IMO, our employees are our greatest asset. So, it’s no surprise to us when we hear about the ways our fellow team members are working to enrich their communities. Marketing team member Jordan Leibovitz is just one of those recent examples. She’s inspiring us all through her work with the volunteer organization Vaccine Buddies, a Naperville-based group of individuals passionate about ensuring technology doesn’t limit access to the COVID-19 vaccine.
An in depth look at how CORHIO, one of the nation’s largest health information exchanges, is partnering with IMO to address data quality challenges complicating their COVID-19 lab aggregation and surveillance efforts.
Oftentimes, dictionaries are associated with libraries, writing, or maybe learning a foreign language. But medical dictionaries play a large role in keeping the healthcare ecosystem connected – and running smoothly.
The fact that the letters IMO don’t just stand for Intelligent Medical Objects isn’t lost on this medical coding company. Indeed, we believe it’s high time IMO embraced our text-slang status and we’re doing just that with In My Opinion, a new Ideas series featuring Q&As with IMO employees. Next up is the Legal and Compliance team’s Paula Payne.
By now, many of us have either been successfully vaccinated against COVID-19; are waiting to become eligible for inoculation; or have helped a friend or family member sign up for an appointment. It’s a process that hasn’t always been smooth, but that’s no surprise if we look back at past pandemics. Indeed, the H1N1 crisis faced similar struggles, which we explore below.
Can one word change how you approach work and life? Inspired by her son, IMO’s CEO Ann Barnes committed herself – and the company – to finding out.
