IMO Terminology Improves EMR Workflow and Clinical Documentation
IMO Problem ( IT ) Terminology is the most widely-used terminology service for EMRs around the world . The IMO Terminology platform improves clinical workflow within the EPAS by integrating IMO clinical vocabulary into problem lists . Our physician-friendly vocabulary makes it possible for clinicians to enter a diagnosis with a high level of granularity and specificity at the point-of-care . IMO maps clinical terms to a valid SNOMED CT ® -AU and ICD-10-AM code . The clinician need only select the description that best captures their intent . The appropriate code or codes are captured automatically .
Why Use IMO Terminology ?
The IMO Way
• Quickly search for codes using familiar clinical language – no more need to memorize codes or sift through awkwardly worded descriptions
• The IMO favorites list makes access to frequently used diagnoses easy , preventing the “ next best fit ” issue
• IMO provides clinical detail and assures the proper specificity is captured for coding purposes
IMO knows that having the right level of granularity is important to clinicians , and that accurate documentation depends on the ability to select terms that best capture clinical intent . This will in turn allow for more accurate coding . Clinical terminology and coding is complex , but IMO has built technology to capture clinical and coding data in a structured , usable form , with the highest degree of accuracy , in a way that is least disruptive to the workflow .
