Former Chief Medical Officer for GE Healthcare Susan Thomas, MD joins Indxit Systems board.

Indxit Systems, the leading provider of automated document indexing technologies, announced today that Susan Thomas, formerly the Chief Medical Officer for GE Healthcare IITS, has joined the Indxit Systems board of directors.  Dr. Thomas will draw on her extensive experience in software engineering, systems design, Centricity EMR implementation and training and as a practicing physician to help guide the implementation of InDxLogic – an automated document indexing system used in conjunction with electronic medical records (EMR) systems such as GE’s Centricity ® EMR. “When it came to selecting a board member to direct further the growth and implementation of InDxLogic, Sue was the obvious choice” said Michael Ebaugh, MD, founder of Indxit Systems.  â€œSue brings a wide range of talent and expertise to our company and she is a great addition to our team.” “In my experience, the practices that have the most success with their EMR implementations are the ones that push to get high quality clinical information to the physicians no matter what” said Dr Thomas.  â€œPhysicians want to know that their patient charts are complete.  So how do these practices handle all that information that comes in on paper?” “Until now every document had to be scanned and then viewed and analyzed by someone who had to look up the patient then decide what type of document is was and how it should be labeled in the EMR.  At my practice we had highly skilled operators doing that work.  They would each scan and index hundreds of documents in a day.   “I was thrilled to hear that InDxLogic offered a way to automate this costly process.   “I talked to the scanning teams at practices who are using the InDxLogic technology.  They now index thousands of scanned documents each week that don’t need to be handled by human operators at all.  And when it is automated like this, they feel that the result is much more consistent and professional appearing then before when it was done by hand.” Today, healthcare organizations are inundated with documents from a variety of disparate sources – emails, faxes, forms, handwritten notes, patient questionnaires, etc. – and the information within those documents is unstructured. This unstructured data presents a challenge to healthcare organizations working with EMR systems.  Traditional indexing systems require that this data be manually indexed into the EMR – a very costly and labor intensive process. InDxLogic is different.  Using its patent-pending technology, InDxLogic replaces this manual process with a fully automated indexing process, drastically lowering labor costs and boosting productivity. About Susan Thomas, MD Dr. Thomas brings to Indxit Systems more than 11 years of experience in healthcare software implementation and consulting. During her career, she has successfully helped medical practices in the US and Canada improve the quality and efficiency of patient care using Health Information Technology.  She is the former Chief Medical Officer for GE Healthcare with expertise in the GE Centricity Electronic Medical Recordâ„¢ (EMR).  Dr. Thomas has been a Family Physician since 1989.  She founded and managed a family medicine practice that is now one of the multispecialty practices of Central Maine Medical Group.  Before becoming a physician she worked as a software engineer and microprocessor consultant.
