Inpatient Management Medical Group Selects Ingenious Med For Its Practice Management Software
Inpatient Practice Management Experts™ to automate its charge capture and managerial data requirements

Atlanta, GA – May, 2006 – Inpatient Management Medical Group (www.inpatient-management.com), based in Northern California, has selected Ingenious Med, the Inpatient Practice Management Experts™ to automate its charge capture and managerial data requirements. IMMG hospitalists will use IM Practice Manager™, Ingenious Med’s flagship software program, to document patient status and progress, accurately collect billing data and properly submit required codes.

"We had two main goals in moving to an automated solution," commented Arieh Rosenbaum, MD, director of the hospitalist program at IMMG's Davies Campus. "First we hoped to capture more charges than we were currently capturing using an archaic paper billing system. Second, we wanted to better track our physicians' billing on a real time basis. Missed charges are now being identified and incorrect coding can be corrected easily. Also, physicians can now see how they're billing in comparison to their peers."

"We're very pleased to have IMMG as a customer," said Steve Liu, MD, CEO of Ingenious Med. Their hospitalists are rounding in multiple locations. IM Practice Manager™ provides IMMG management with real-time performance metrics from all locations, and incorporates the tools that they need to control and optimize practice performance."

IM Practice Manager is an Internet-based application that enables inpatient physicians to capture charges, improve coding, and communicate digitally with their peers and attending physicians. In addition, the program aggregates management data separately from the hospital information system, so individual hospitalist and total department performance can be accurately evaluated.
