“Occasionally when you’re working in the field you run into products that make everyone’s life easier and you want to tell everyone about them because you like them so much. I have run into a new product that I like and doctors love: IMO.
One of the biggest problems providers face when going on an EHR is finding the diagnosis for the patient. Often times the EHR uses Ingenix and doesn’t provide any other form of mapping. So what does IMO do that’s different? IMO takes 15,000 ICD9s and maps them to 160,000 terms so that providers can use their own terminology to finally be able to find the diagnosis they’re looking for. SNOMED uses only 90,000. The other great thing? For groups who want to get better at HCC/RAF coding, they provide assistance with that also!”
