What is a Clinical Information Specialist?

CIMS’ Clinical Information Specialists (CISs) are the necessary evolution of medical data capture. More rigorously and specially trained than traditional medical scribes, CISs are skilled in improving clinical workflows and employing clinical documentation tools. They use these skills to enhance the physician-patient experience, greatly reduce administrative burdens of practitioners, and enable clinical end-users to operate at the top of their license by reducing burn out and allowing them to focus on what they were trained to do: provide attentive, highest-caliber patient care.

Creating and maintaining a high-caliber clinical information management team is a complex and ever-changing endeavor that CIMS executes for organizations seeking the best ways to provide assistance to their clinical end-users. To successfully adapt to the ever-changing requirements of clinical documentation, CIMS continually trains its CISs to leverage the best of the EMR, CIMS’ suite of technologies, and their own workflow expertise to improve your clinical documentation while profoundly enhancing patient and physician satisfaction.
