Introduction/About
CIMA
Headquartered in Owings Mills, Maryland, Clinical Information Management & Associates (CIMA) became incorporated as an LLC in 2001. We have been providing first-class health information management (HIM) solutions to industry players since then. We started with on-site clinical documentation audits and provider documentation training. However, our scope of services quickly expanded with each client, to include short and long-term management within an HIM department, supervision of large team of nurses and other providers involved in medical review and coding activities, on-site coding support, coding compliance and validation services, data quality monitoring, performance improvement, clinical documentation improvement, quality improvement activities, project management and training.
Private Sector
CIMA has provided services to hospitals, nursing facilities, home healthcare agencies, outpatient facilities, rehabilitation facilities and both group and “solo” physician/provider practices. We have solid experience in conducting operational assessments and the operational management of medical review functions of large organizations, including a range of coding and review functions.
Public Sector
Experience in the public sector/government, including military health services. Our public sector experience includes providing HIM consulting services (i.e. policy development), as well as functioning as "subject matter expert" in the areas of coding, documentation, and data analysis. We've also functioned as a lead on Project Management teams for ICD-10 strategic planning, training and documentation, and conducted ICD-10 CM/PCS readiness assessments and coding audits.
