HEALTH SOLUTIONS AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE, INC., FORMS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH INTELLIMED INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION PHOENIX, ARIZ./

Health Solutions and Market Intelligence, Inc. (HSAMI) and Intellimed International Corporation have formed a strategic partnership that will enable HSAMI clients to have instant access to clinical and financial performance information about hospitals and physicians in a given market area.

“Our clients have a tremendous need for accurate, comprehensive, and competitive data that provide insight into what is occurring in their service areas and potential markets. Our partnership with Intellimed will enable our clients to easily access data and then translate that data into spreadsheets, graphs, and maps that can be used for a variety of planning and analysis activities,” says Mike Albertson, a partner with HSAMI. “The Intellimed system is a particularly powerful decision support tool for smaller hospitals and physician group practices that don’t have dedicated planners on staff. These organizations can easily get bogged down with data gathering and analysis activities and miss out on opportunities to grow and strengthen their services. Larger organizations can also benefit from Intellimed resources, which can enhance and verify data that may have already been gathered.” “We welcome the opportunity to work with HSAMI and their clients. It’s a tremendous opportunity for us to reach a new sector of providers that will benefit from our 20 years of experience as one of the leading providers of healthcare information,” says Gene Koch, chief operating officer of Intellimed.
