Challenges

Complicated EHR workflows can impede patient data quality

The clinical workflows designed to document and manage clinical patient data can be disjointed and unnecessarily complex, inhibiting providers from delivering the best possible care.

These workflow challenges also affect data quality, with real downstream impacts on billing, reimbursement, quality reporting, and population health initiatives.

IMO Health helps my providers manage patient information seamlessly, from visit-specific diagnoses to the longitudinal patient problem list. It gives us a much clearer view of the patient while also identifying conditions which might benefit from proactive management. And providers can use their preferred clinical language for documentation while terminology is managed in the background. It's a winner from the bedside to the data analyst's desk and everywhere in between.
