We are excited to announce that PSMI has officially merged with our longtime collaborative partner, Meliorix. Going forward, our combined companies will be renamed to, and conduct business as, Elimu Informatics, Inc.
Elimu will carry forward the great work that PSMI and Meliorix began - adding knowledge layers within and on top of your existing health information technology (HIT) infrastructure. We are dedicated to saving our customers time and money and offering products and services in the following areas:
We understand that each institution has a unique footprint of applications, challenges, and strengths which need to be leveraged and developed alongside master data management and terminology content competencies. PSMI will work will your organization to develop a customized plan to move your data governance strategy along the information maturity continuum to meet immediate and longer term goals.
We live and work in a quickly evolving healthcare environment where information needs are a moving target and data analytics are vital for care quality and regulatory reasons. The ability to build, display, and analyze reports for core dimensions and key measures is essential for making wise business decisions. We work to leverage your existing investment in your EMR, data warehouse and business intelligence strategies to support all of your data needs comprehensively, using data and terminology standards and tools.
Our expertise in terminology allows us to optimizes and improve searching/recall of clinical terms, relevant content such as clinical articles or monographs and query complex health system databases leveraging the richness of standards such as SNOMED CT, RXNORM, ICD10, LOINC, NDFRT, UNII,...
Healthcare organizations manage multiple data sources and users with a wide variety of purposes and needs. Data standardization best practices are not only necessary, but often required to meet the demands of internal and external consumers. PSMI specializes in collecting, structuring, defining, and sharing data for the purpose of understanding that data in order to inform patient care quality, resource utilization, and financial impacts.
We understand that many of the concepts and processes that we put in place will be new to most organizations. We won’t leave you hanging. Part of our service is to ensure that we leave our customers with the ability to manage their implementations going forward. PSMI advocates that clients build their own ‘in-house’ subject matter expertise in terminology and data standards, knowledge and infrastructure to support enterprise goals and growth.
PSMI was established in 2005 by James Shalaby, Pharm.D., who previously managed Convergent Medical Terminology (CMT), Kaiser Permanente’s enterprise-wide medical terminology solution.
