Built on industry-leading clinical terminology, IMO solutions ensure clinical data quality and integrity from patient to population.
Building software that links clinical terminology to standardized code systems becomes a lot more fun when almost all of your presentations contain memes.
Getting all of your own medical information in one place can be a tough task. Now imagine gathering the data for a whole hospital, or even an entire state. Then, for good measure, throw in the fact that meaningful healthcare data analytics require that all these records be standardized before they can be useful. That’s where a normalization solution with a built-in clinical terminology layer can help.
When it comes to surgery, if something isn’t documented in a patient’s chart it’s as though it didn’t happen. Even the most basic facts of a case must be recorded with the correct clinical terminology in order to ensure high-quality care. And it’s not just the operative note that’s important – excellent documentation is needed at all stages of a patient’s surgical care.
You don’t have to work for a medical coding company to know that quality data is important – especially in healthcare. But patient information comes from a variety of sources, and it’s rarely all in the same format, or documented using the same clinical terminology. So, what does this mean? We’re glad you asked.
It’s been quite a year for clinical terminology, with the need for new medical coding terms never seeming to stop. Whether clinicians are documenting complexities related to COVID-19 or describing electric scooter mishaps, the latest updates to ICD-10-CM are here to help. Below, we take a look at five interesting changes to the standardized coding system that went into effect on the first of October.
Every set of standardized clinical terminology has routine adjustments and updates. For some, there are annual revisions and for others, changes happen multiple times a year. Then, there are the medical coding terms that need to be added off-cycle. Having trouble keeping up? We’re here to help.
Developing a clinical terminology solution requires a deep understanding of technology, code mapping, and EHRs. But for the end user, empathy is essential.
Ambient AI is reshaping clinical documentation, streamlining workflows, and has the potential to facilitate downstream use cases and accelerate innovation.
