Intuitive Medical Software
Founded in 2005 by Dr. Howard Follis, Intuitive Medical Software, LLC is a developer
of software products that assist medical providers in making the transition to the
electronic maintenance and management of patient visits and records. Recognizing
the short comings of generic EMRs when used in a specialty practice, Dr. Follis
created IMS with the intent to become the dominant provider of physician electronic
medical record ("Physician EMR") software to selected surgical and medical specialty
physicians in the U.S., initially targeting urologists, cardiologists, and ophthalmologists.
IMS has developed an EMR software product that combines a unique, efficient user
interface with state-of-the-art database architecture. This innovative design will
enhance patient care and minimize treatment errors by helping physicians and their
staff become more efficient and accurate in their documentation of medical records.
IMS' EMR software program has been specifically designed to address major deficiencies
in EMR software currently available to specialty physicians. In most surgical and
medical specialties, currently available EMR software lowers practice productivity,
resulting in decreased revenues. Most EMR software is poorly designed, difficult
to use, and expensive to implement. IMS has "leapfrogged" these traditional EMR
companies by developing EMR software custom-designed for the workflows inherent
in surgical and medical specialty practices. IMS leverages a unique patent-pending
timeline feature that organizes EMR data in a relevant way for physicians, based
on the way that physicians practice.
The company has initially targeted three specialties - Urology, Cardiology, and
Ophthalmology. The EMR programs developed by IMS are designed to add significant
value to these specialty physicians' practices by accommodating their unique workflows.
The Company believes that by using this EMR software, these specialty physicians
will significantly increase revenues as they become more efficient and rapid at
documenting medical records, generating an appropriate E&M code, minimizing medical
errors, and decreasing transcription costs.
The digital data that these physicians collect on their patients will also be "interoperable,"
on IMS software, meaning that it is able to be transferred to and from other electronic
systems in our healthcare system, a critical component of the efforts to reform
and redesign our national healthcare system. IMS intends to play a significant role
in transforming the quality of U.S. healthcare through this innovative approach
to specialty EMR software.
