1. Event Scheduler Automated Report Generation

Tired of spending hours generating the same reports over and over? With IMS Build 39, you don’t have to.

Our new Event Scheduler automation lets you schedule and deliver 14 critical billing and operational reports automatically, on your terms. Whether it’s visit notes, CPT analysis, or revenue summaries, you choose the timing, format, and filters, ensuring you always get the data you need, exactly when you need it.

2. Faster Review of Multiple Lab Results

Let’s face it: no one enjoys jumping through screen after screen just to piece together lab results. With Build 39, all your lab result observations are neatly organized in one easy-to-read, auto-expanding view. It also provides built-in tooltips that offer additional context directly on the screen, streamlining clinical review and decision-making.

3. Pre-Filled Patient Form Option

Long check-in times can slow down your front office and frustrate patients. That’s why Build 39 introduces a new pre-filled form option, enabling returning patients to automatically populate forms from their previous visits. They still have the option to review and update their responses, just without the hassle of starting from scratch.

4. Smarter Patient Vial Management

If your practice manages a steady flow of immunizations, you know how quickly disorganized workflows can slow things down and lead to errors.

With IMS Build 39, we’ve taken vaccine tracking and patient vial management to the next level. Our latest upgrade introduces smart tools that help your staff stay efficient, accurate, and in control, even during the busiest clinic days.

5. Effortless Image Uploads to Visit Notes

Uploading images to your visit notes shouldn’t interrupt your workflow or add unnecessary steps. The new Patient Document icon in Build 39 simplifies image uploads, allowing staff to attach JPG, PNG, or TIFF files right into your visit notes. With proper permissions, users can also preview, edit, and save images right in the chart, making documentation faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

6. Grid Interpretation from Diagnostic Image Management

Managing diagnostic images shouldn’t mean jumping between screens. IMS Build 39 lets you pull content directly from the Diagnostic Image Management (DIM) screen into your visit notes, giving providers more control over how results are displayed.

7. Faster, More Responsive Templates

Build 39 speeds up your documentation process with a 20% improvement in Link With calculation time. Whether you’re working on visit notes or form-based templates, screens now load faster, especially for larger or more complex forms.

8. Code Searches in Superbill and Diagnosis Screens

Finding the right codes is faster and more intuitive with IMS. The new global search icon provides instant access to ICD-10 and CPT/CDT lookups, directly from the Superbill or Diagnosis screen. No more switching tabs or scrolling through long lists—just quick, accurate code selection right when you need it.

9. Quick-Entry Tools for Abdominal Measurements

IMS Build 39 introduces quick-entry tools that let your staff double-click to input values using a built-in numeric pad, speeding up documentation without sacrificing accuracy. The system also flags invalid entries, such as negative numbers, and includes built-in tooltips to guide proper input. 

10. Better Patient Portal Result Visibility

Many EHRs limit what patients can see, but IMS’ patient portal makes it easier to keep them informed. A new “Show on Web” checkbox is now available in both the Fertility and Chart View screens, giving you more flexibility in what you share through the portal. It’s a straightforward way to enhance transparency, foster better communication, and keep patients more actively engaged in their care.

11. Easier Bulk Billing

Manually matching payments is a thing of the past with Build 39’s bulk billing tools that streamline multi-charge posting. You can use the Pending Charges icon in the Insurance Payment Posting screen to select multiple charges, filter by patient, CPT code, provider, and more, and let Auto Post apply payments automatically until balances are cleared.

12. Simpler Overpayment Handling

Managing overpayments manually can be frustrating and error-prone. With the new IMS update, your team gets a more efficient way to handle excess payments right at checkout.

You can choose to apply the extra amount as Open Credit (OC) or allocate it to Tips, depending on how your practice operates. It’s a smart, flexible solution that helps reduce confusion, prevent billing errors, and streamline your revenue cycle.
