Like many health systems, Children’s Hospital & Medical Center of Omaha, NE, didn’t suffer from a lack of data. Its challenge was turning that data into actionable information easily accessible to all members of the care team as part of their clinical workflows.
Our entire care team — attending physicians, nurses, residents, medical students and others — now can all share a common understanding of the patient’s problems.

PassportMD was seeking a partner to work with to provide the medical terminologies to support the vision to provide users with high-quality information to understand every disease or medication that each family member has or is taking.
PassportMD earned top honors for Best PHR from the prestigious Medical Records Institute's "Best PHR (Personal Health Record)" Awards competition at the Toward Electronic Patient Records (TEPR) Conference held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The process of mapping and maintaining links between customer systems and the Medicalis knowledgebase is time-consuming and inefficient without standard terminology. IMO® was approached to remedy this.
Medicalis understood the whole domain of disease states coded by ICD-9 was a heavy lift for us to incorporate initially, and is exponentially more complicated to maintain over time. We realized we would have to add resources to do that, or partner with someone."
