Washington -- American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)
Annual Symposium -- Bond Technologies and Intelligent Medical
Objects, Inc. (IMO) have announced a five year license agreement
to enhance the diagnosis and procedures terminologies inside
Bond Clinician(TM) EHR.
The agreement provides for enhancements to the interface
terminology for Bond Clinician(TM) users, namely, IMO® ICD-9
Enhanced(TM) for Diagnosis and IMO® CPT Enhanced(TM) with HCPCS
for Procedures. These services are part of IMO's Personal Health
Terminology(TM) (PHT), and have been fully integrated into Bond
Clinician, summer 2006. Bond selected IMO to improve the user
experience and ensure that data is collected correctly for use
in decision- support and quality improvement. Bond provides
demand-driven solutions, based upon user feedback, that lead to
better outcomes and greater efficiency for care delivery
organizations. |

Andrew Kanter MD,
MPH, IMO's Chief Medical Officer, commented, "As a part of this
agreement IMO is continuing to work closely with Bond's team on
their Terminology Strategy to ensure that users of Bond
Clinician(TM) EHR -- from clinicians to practice management to
patients -- get the most out of their system. Bond Clinician EHR
has taken advantage of a great deal of the enhanced
functionality capable with IMO's terminologies such as primary
and secondary ICD code mapping, and links to SNOMED® CT. This
not only allows for decision-support and data analysis but
provides a state-of-the-art experience for its users."
Travis Bond, Founder & CEO of Bond Technologies, explained, "We
began working with IMO on our terminology strategy early on, in
2004. The objective then, as today, is to perfect the use of
interface terminology as a means to connect the various
terminologies such as ICD-9 and CPT administrative codes and
Thomson Micromedex for the evidence-based medicine aspects..."
Mark Swierzewski MD from Tampa Bay Urology characterized the
Bond Clinician EHR improvements, stating, "The freedom to
document with terminology that is common to us versus
billing-specific definitions is refreshing. Generally, you want
to chart a medical problem first and bill second. With Bond
Clinician(TM) EHR, we get both."
