Associated Surgeons Chooses IMSI

Associated Surgeons, a group of 5 regionally recognized surgeons serving the greater Norristown, Pennsylvania area and part of the Mercy Health System, has selected imsiRESULTS, the IMSI web-based reporting system . Associated Surgeons needed an uncomplicated way to manage patient data and a straightforward way to generate results. They also wanted to simplify communication with their growing number of referring physicians.

With the imsiRESULTS system, Associated Surgeons is able to access patient data online from anywhere. Each physician in the practice views only his patients scheduled for that day. After visiting with the patient, voice recognition is used by each physician to generate results. At the click of a mouse, office notes, chart notes, formatted letters, and faxes are automatically generated for the referring physician(s).

imsiRESULTS was optimized for Associated Surgeons with the help of the physicians. They knew exactly what information and components they needed available, and IMSI knew how to provide it. IMSI interfaced the imsiResults system into the existing PMS (Practice Management System) at Associated Surgeons, creating a seamless, worklist-based environment specific for each user.

This unique service is available to any physician's office that wants to better manage their time and workflow. "We always work with physicians to see exactly what it is they need. Our imsiResults is just the foundation. We incorporate each customer's individual requirements and deliver to them a solution that is specific to those needs," says IMSI President John Mazur.

imsiRESULTS is a promising product, sure to be a hit in every physician office environment.

Misericordia University Teaches with iQ-System PACS

Elaine Halesey, Ed.D., R.T.R. R (QM) (ARRT), wrote to John Mazur, President of IMSI: “John, thanks so much to Integrated Modular Systems, Inc. for this terrific product.  The addition of our ability to utilize this PACS system has positively enhanced the curriculum at Misericordia University in many ways.  It allows our students to see, first hand, on campus, prior to them actually experiencing the clinical portion of the program, the type of product used in actual Radiology Departments. It also will improve our ability to deliver the curriculum in a more efficient manner.”

While its use by other faculty will be expanded as their curricula is revised, the PACS is presently being used by Professor Lorie Zelna, who states,"The Medical Imaging program of Misericordia University is using the iQ-VIEW/PRO software by Image Information Systems, Ltd.) as part of the Radiographic Image Analysis course.  The students are assigned  projections by the instructor.  Using a mannequin, under the direct supervision of the course instructor, the students perform the radiologic exposures, and process the image using the CR.  The images are sent to the PACS server.  The students are provided an image analysis rubric by the course instructor.  From their homes or dormitory rooms, the students can access the images to complete the rubric at their leisure.  An assigned due date for submission of the rubric is determined by the course instructor.  Once the instructor receives the student rubrics, he/she accesses the PACS server to view each of the students projections and compares the student rubric evaluation of the assigned projections.  This project is a graded assignment that requires the students to apply the skills that are discussed in the didactic component of the course. Having the software accessible to students has afforded greater opportunities for out-of-class assignments thereby enhancing the learning opportunities for the students. Incorporating the use of PACS at the first semester, sophomore level, provides students with experience in the use of PACS prior to entering the clinical environment.  The intention for this early introduction is to assist in the knowledge transfer and ease the transition from the laboratory to the clinical environment.”  The process is a success.  The course instructor intends to incorporate additional applications for use of this software.
