4. Information to be added or removed: (SUMMARY) Remove mentions of former products, "Products such as Problem (IT) and Procedure (IT) aim to help physicians more easily choose the correct medical term for their cases, which then aids in finding the correct billing code." Would like to update the summary to: Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) is a privately held company specializing in developing, managing and licensing medical vocabularies. IMO partners with various health care organizations, medical content providers and EHR developers. Founded in 1994, IMO is based in Rosemont, Illinois. IMO’s clinical interface terminology, which helps to map diagnostic terminologies to medical concepts and billing codes, was launched in 1995.

IMO is used by more than 4,500 hospitals and 500,000 physicians daily, IMO’s clinical interface terminology (CIT) forms the foundation for healthcare enterprise needs including effective management of EHR problem lists, accurate documentation, and the mapping of over 2.4 million clinician-friendly terms across 24 different code systems.

IMO offers a portfolio of products that includes terminologies and value sets that are clinically vetted, always current, and maintenance-free. This aligns to provider organizations’ missions, EHR platforms’ inherent power, and then evolving vision of the healthcare industry while ensuring accurate care documentation and administrative codes. So clinicians can get back to being clinicians, health systems can get reimbursed, and patients can more easily engage in their own care. As intended.

IMO works with companies such as MEDITECH, Allscripts, Cerner and Epic Systems, providing vocabularies for the companies’ healthcare software applications to be used by various hospitals and physicians in those companies’ client networks.

In February 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published an article that demonstrates how IMO’s interface terminology was found to accurately categorize coronary heart disease and heart failure events. IMO’s terminology service was found to be 32-42% more accurate compared to algorithms using reimbursement coding and classification techniques.
