Providing patient care – and understanding the resulting clinical data – is no longer a responsibility isolated to the primary provider. Today, medicine is a team effort involving multiple clinicians, immediate family members, and other healthcare professionals.

In the US, structured clinical terminology is integrated into most electronic health records. However, across the pond there is no standard clinical terminology that is widely being used for documentation.

IMO’s Senior Vice President of Global Clinical Services, Steven Rube, MD, takes a look at the reasons for this difference in the capture of patient data from a clinical informatics perspective.
Precise, comprehensive value sets can help identify specific patient cohorts for population health initiatives and quality reporting requirements. Find out how IMO Precision Acute Condition Sets can ease the burden of building and updating these powerful tools.
Sharing the electronic health record (EHR) screen can be a powerful way to establish trust and understanding between the physician and patient, but what message does a disorganized record send? And how does sharing change when patient visits are virtual?
Precise value sets are powerful tools that can help identify accurate patient cohorts for a variety of population health and quality reporting initiatives. Find out how they can be employed for cancer care and management with IMO Precision Oncology Sets.
