FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Towards the Electronic Patient Record (TEPR) -- IMO, the leader in clinical interface terminology, announced today its next-generation interface terminology delivery service. The service gives clients using IMO-enhanced terminologies access to all of IMO's terminology knowledge sources. The service is powered by terminology searching algorithms optimized for millisecond response times in a highly scalable and redundant environment. The Terminology Portal Service is available for the following IMO products:

-- IMO(R) Problem IT(TM) (mapped to ICD9-CM(1) and SNOMED CT),

-- IMO(R) Procedure IT(TM) (mapped to CPT(R), HCPCS, ICD9 Procedure Codes,

and SNOMED CT),

-- IMO(R) Medication IT(TM) -- (mapped to RxNorm)

"This technology removes three major challenges in the health information market: unreliable search results, managing updates in terminology content, and difficulties with implementation," says Jose Maldonado, IMO's Terminology Product Manager. "With its fast, scalable and predictable search engine, the Terminology Portal Service guarantees reproducible and accurate search results. The hassle-free update mechanism significantly simplifies regulatory updates and change management. The ease of deployment reduces the total cost of ownership."

"Over the past 14 years, we at IMO have consistently observed that a major challenge for EMR/EHR vendors is delivering a consistent and reliable user experience that can accommodate the ever changing healthcare market and diverse user community," says Dr. Andrew S. Kanter, IMO's Chief Medical Officer. "Our portal solution allows our clients to focus on their core business without concerns about the overhead associated with delivering a vocabulary service at the point of care."

Clients of IMO's interface terminology can take full advantage of reference terminologies such as SNOMED CT with minimal development investment
