Ingenious Med Continues to Expand Client Base With an Extremely Successful Third Quarter 2009
ATLANTA, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Ingenious Med, the leaders in inpatient practice management, reports impressive growth in the third quarter of 2009. The addition of new customers and hundreds of users across eight states continues to drive Ingenious Med’s success in leading the inpatient market with service that goes beyond software.
This expansion can be attributed to Ingenious Med providing a solution that can be implemented organization-wide for any inpatient specialty and utilized by physicians regardless of their location. Ingenious Med provides a software solution that is accessible through Internet-enabled mobile devices, hospital workstations, laptops and mobile PCs. Ingenious Med recognizes that physicians round in multiple facilities and need a way to manage their patients in one effective environment and under one Internet-accessible platform.
In the last three months, Ingenious Med partnered with nine new organizations and added hundreds of users to its extensive existing client base of over 6,000 users including:
Advanced Inpatient Medicine in Honesdale, Pennsylvania
Charleston Area Medical Center in Charleston, West Virginia
Encinitas Hospitalist Associates in Encinitas, California
Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Englewood, New Jersey
Morris Hospital in Morris, Illinois
Peninsula Medical Associates in Torrance, California
Stevens Hospital in Edmonds, Washington
Self Regional Medical Center in Greenwood, South Carolina
The Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain, Connecticut
One distinct reason for impactful new sales includes Ingenious Med’s industry knowledge and method of design. Founded by inpatient physicians, Ingenious Med recognizes the unique challenges of the inpatient environment and the growing demands placed upon groups as their practices mature. IM Practice Manager continues to be driven by both customers and a clinical advisory board that includes practicing physicians and other healthcare professionals.
Dr. Hohmuth, Director of the hospitalist program at Englewood Hospital – a major medical and academic institution in Englewood, NJ – expressed that “the fact that IM Practice Manager was made by physicians for physicians” had a large impact on his decision to partner with Ingenious Med. He also states that “competitive pricing and the way the software was designed” were also contributing factors. Dr. Hohmuth is confident that Ingenious Med will help his practice to “increase collections & revenue, improve charge capture & distribution, and increase productivity among the physicians.”
Ingenious Med’s high rate of physician satisfaction and easy adoption was the key factor in more than one organization’s choice to purchase IM Practice Manager. Advanced Inpatient Medicine in Honesdale, PA and Stevens Hospital in Edmonds, WA both had users that had formerly used Ingenious Med at other facilities.
“I used Ingenious Med at a previous hospital that I worked at before I transferred to Wayne Memorial Hospital,” said Dr. Lou O’Boyle, Medical Director at Advanced Inpatient Medicine. “So not only did I know how to use IM Practice Manager already, but I loved it!” Julie Dablow, the Professional Services Billing Manager at Stevens Hospital is also a previous user and is excited to manage her billing services through IM Practice Manager at her new place of employment.
Ingenious Med has developed into a leader in general practice management functionality within the inpatient market as a whole. IM continues to dominate the hospitalist market while also rapidly expanding its presence in the inpatient sector by adding specialty groups, national health systems, academic organizations and national management companies. IM Practice Manager has proven to work with most inpatient specialties as well as retain its reputation as an enterprise-wide software solution.
“We’re thrilled with the continued demand for a mobile software solution from new customers nationwide,” said Hart Williford, CEO of Ingenious Med. “We continue to dominate the inpatient practice management market as a result of excellence in ergonomics, ease of use & enterprise-level client support. We are committed to customer service and providing services that go beyond the normal expectations of a software company. With all that we are doing, we anticipate even more aggressive customer expansion in the future.”
