With more than 25 years of clinical and management experience, CIMS understands the challenges of clinical practice in the current environment. Not only does CIMS have a keen understanding of workflows and how they have been cemented by the introduction of the EMR, but also how it affects the entirety of the healthcare organization's efficiency, capacity, and quality of care. CIMS’ services benefit not only the patient and provider but the entire healthcare enterprise. Clinical Information Management Systems provides clinical information services for hospitals, private emergency medicine groups, primary care groups, or multi-specialty practices that want to bolster their productivity and revenue, improve patient and clinician experience, or reduce physician burn out while using an Electronic Medical Record system. In the era of accountable care, CIMS greatly benefits fee-for-service physician groups who are highly dependent on their group and individual efficiencies and overall productivity to maximize reimbursements while also aiding practices seeking to manage the new challenges posed by value-based alternative payment models and increased payer emphasis on quality and outcomes. As providers are paid according to outcomes, access to data and decision-making tools is critical to the success of the business model. To that end, the Clinical Information Specialist is a necessity – allowing physicians to work at the top level of their license and reinstate the bond between physician and patient, a bond that leads to overall wellness and greater quality of care.
