Dr. Naeymi-Rad received a Master's degree in computer science from Southern Illinois University, working in probabilistic techniques for the automatic classification of documents. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology and an MBA from Lake Forest College[1]; his Ph.D. thesis work focused on the role of medical vocabulary to support database translation, information retrieval, intelligent medical records, and expert systems. He has previously worked as Chief Information Officer and Professor at the Chicago Medical School.[2]

Dr. Naeymi-Rad has been awarded National Library of Medicine and NASA contracts in the area of expert systems and medical record coding. He has been nominated for special recognition by the Oracle Corporation Smithsonian Award in the category of medicine. With IMO, he is working towards developing the components to support the next generation of electronic health record. He and IMO have been issued patents in the informatics field, as well as been selected as clinical interface terminology partners for companies such as MedAptus and Epic.[3]

Dr. Naeymi-Rad was named co-chair of Chicago's Informatics Week declared by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in late 2012.[4] In June 2013, Dr. Naeymi-Rad visited the White House and participated in a round-table forum on health IT and international trade.[5]

Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) is a privately held company specializing in developing, managing and licensing medical vocabularies, partnering with various health care organizations, medical content providers, and EHR and EMR developers.

Founded in 1994, IMO's headquarters are located in Northbrook, Illinois. IMO's clinical interface terminology, which helps to map diagnostic terminologies to medical concepts and billing codes, was launched in 1995. Products such as Problem (IT) and Procedure (IT) aim to help physicians more easily choose the correct medical term for their cases, which then aids in matching with the correct billing code,[2] allowing clinicians to capture the patient condition more accurately with more familiar terms and without slowing the EHR workflow.

These products' medical vocabularies are regularly updated so as to be mapped with standardized vocabularies such as ICD and SNOMED, as well as to adhere to the October 1, 2013/2014 date of compliance for migrating to ICD-10.[3][4] Each IMO term within the clinical interface terminology is in turn mapped to the appropriate administrative code set. This allows the evolution of code sets to go on and minimize the impact on the clinician; as code sets/rules change, all re-mappings are handled by IMO, enabling the clinicians to continue leveraging the same vernacular.[5][6]

IMO works with companies such as Allscripts, Cerner and Epic Systems, providing vocabularies for the companies' health care software applications to be used by various hospitals and physicians in those companies' client networks.[7] IMO's products and vocabularies are thus used in sites across the United States. In 2012, IMO opened a research and development office on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign to be staffed by student interns from the university.[8]
