In the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic, updates to COVID-19 coding guidelines, terms, and names are important for patient care, but challenging to manage. IMO’s clinical, product, and coding experts break down how COVID-19 terms have been developed and explain how IMO can help providers by taking terminology concerns off of their plates.
IMO is committed to helping healthcare providers with workflow and cohort management needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s why we created IMO Precision COVID-19 Sets, available now to IMO customers, completely free of charge.
In medicine, value sets are key to identifying populations of interest. But without knowing who builds them – and how – it can be hard to trust their accuracy. Learn how IMO is taking on value sets – from scope definition, to architecture, to ongoing maintenance.
With the unprecedented global outbreak of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, it’s crucial that we all do our part to help. At IMO, that means ensuring clinicians can easily identify and monitor COVID-19 patients using the most up-to-date terms for EHR documentation. IMO’s CEO Ann Barnes describes our new offerings, available free of charge on March 26.
