Experience The Latest IMS Update
What are the IMS Build 40 Updates?
This update focuses on the most time-consuming aspects of practice management, making them faster, smarter, and less repetitive.
Automated Authorization & Referrals
With smarter authorization and referral workflows, providers can now automatically dispatch documents once they’re logged in. If edits are made after sign-off, the system resends the updated version without manual action. Build 40 also adds automated status updates and scheduled follow-ups.
Bulk Consent Form Signing in IMS
In the My Tasks screen, users with signing rights can achieve faster document approvals by approving multiple consent forms simultaneously. The update also includes auto-fill logic: when the primary provider and anesthesia provider fields match, the system pre-populates the signature to save time.
MIPS 2025 Compliance Updates
1st Providers Choice’s IMS Build 40 incorporates the latest CMS Quality Payment Program measures, including updates to electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMS) and interoperability requirements. Practices using the IMS software automation are ready for 2025 reporting without the need for manual adjustments.
Enhanced FQHC Reporting with IMS Care
Community health centers can now collect key data—like household income, family size, and housing status—through the patient portal. The update also introduces automated sliding fee eligibility screening and built-in tracking for grant-funded services, making audits and reporting more straightforward.
Vial Order Status Monitoring
For immunotherapy practices, Build 40 adds custom vial order statuses, such as “Pending,” “Sent to Pharmacy,” and “Ready to Mix.” A new billing column in the order screen highlights which vials are billable and which are not, giving staff a clear view of revenue opportunities.
FertilAI Single Sign-On Integration
Fertility providers can now access FertilAI’s AI-driven dosing and ovulation recommendations directly inside IMS via single sign-on. No more switching dashboards as the integration delivers treatment insights directly into the workflow providers already use.
What Do You Get From These Features?
With the IMS EHR updates for 2025, we aim to transform your day-to-day reality by delivering tangible benefits that impact every aspect of your practice.
Save Time with Fewer Clicks
By getting easier management of multiple authorizations, streamlining consent forms, and improving navigation, Build 40 takes repetitive tasks off your plate. You’ll spend less time clicking through screens and more time focusing on your patients.
Capture More Revenue
With clearer billing visibility and custom vial order tracking, practices can avoid missed charges and reduce denials. Build 40 helps ensure every billable item gets accounted for, keeping your revenue cycle healthy.
Patient Care Taken to New Heights
Faster charting, seamless integrations like FertilAI, and smarter patient data management mean providers get the right information at the right time. That leads to quicker decisions, fewer delays, and a smoother care experience for your patients.
