IMO® PROBLEM IT™ 2010 Release 1.1 is available! As part of our drive to improve clinical usability, the casing for all values for IMO_LC_TEXT in the ICD9_LEXICALS_TEXT_IMO table has been changed from title case to sentence case. We have implemented these changes so that the casing in our terminology will be more in line with the casing used in clinical documentation and standard terminologies and codesets. For example, the IMO clinician-friendly term "Hypertension due to Intracranial Pressure" will now read as "Hypertension due to intracranial pressure".
