This gives stratification of care based on the patient's specific risks for pregnancy complication.
What it is:
IMI = Interactive Medical Intelligence, a decision support system.
Why it is needed:
It has been used to address top obstetrical problems in thousands of patients with remarkable success.It alerts the clinician to:
- Clinical errors
- Abnormal trends, for antepartum and for labor and delivery
How it works:
There are numerous proprietary analyzing algorithms, which are triggered by:
- Patient medical history
- Laboratory test results
- Ultrasound results
- Biometrics entered throughout the pregnancy
We use an up-to-date relational database structure that is flexible and robust. It is quickly updated with new algorithms as medicine changes.
Using your community’s standard of care, Verify-IMI stratifies the level of care based on identified risks and offers clinical suggestions.
