CardioPulse
Incorporated in 1989, Intelligent Business Solutions (IBS) began as a company responsible for developing and deploying custom, state of the art technology solutions for clients such as; NASA, RJR Tobacco, B/E Aerospace, Sara Lee and Wake Forest University, Baptist Medical Center.
In 1991, IBS began development of a Cardiothoracic Surgery information system for WFU Baptist Medical Center, which not only met stringent database requirements, but also revolutionized automated document and workflow within the Cardiothoracic Surgery department.
By 1995, this initial assignment had evolved into the development of a comprehensive and integrated system for the entire Heart Center. Through this process, the flagship product, CAOS, was born and by 1997 CAOS was a full electronic health record.
Also, around this time, CAOS became a certified software vendor for both the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and has been providing certified software solutions to customers for over a decade.
In 2002, IBS began doing business as Clinical Automated Office Solutions (CAOS) and also moved to an Internet based model for delivering it’s software, which has shown to be a much more cost effective and efficient solution for the CAOS customer base.
In the latter half of 2005, CAOS expanded it’s service offerings with the introduction of IBS Billing and Coding Service. This service line allows physician practices to outsource their billing/coding function as a means to improve revenue cycle management and gain access to certified coders.
In March of 2011, IBS changed the flagship product name from CAOS to CardioPulse. The new name was adopted to better reflect the full breadth of functionality within the software in regards to the entire Heart Center. The new name was also an opportunity to announce the imaging capabilities that had been added to the software.
As new procedures and treatments are developed, CardioPulse will continue to evolve in order to provide our clients with a competitive advantage in their pursuit of excellence and improving patient care.
CardioPulse effectively coordinates data flow across your Cardiology and Cardiothoracic departments. Physician procedural reports, intelligent interfacing, ACC and STS quality initiatives, workflow optimization, ad hoc reports and a robust analytics dashboard make the CardioPulse solution a strategic purchase for your heart center.
