Chelmsford, MA – August 7, 2023 – Today, TIMS Medical releases TIMS MVP 5.0, a major new upgrade to its flagship product for recording, editing, and archiving MBS, FEES, & endoscopy studies in high resolution video with synced audio. TIMS MVP 5.0 now adds template-based reporting, integrated notes & QuickPhrases, PatientView, importing of media files, enhanced triggering modes for endoscopy, automatic swallow detection, enhancements to the measurement toolset, and several other productivity improvements. Thousands of SLPs and endoscopy clinicians rely on TIMS MVP daily for reviewing, editing, and archiving of these imaging studies.

TIMS Medical systems are widely used for imaging and diagnostics of dysphagia related studies such as Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). Further, TIMS Medical systems are frequently used to support PACS and EMR connectivity for endoscopy (ENT, GI, & surgical imaging).

Customized Reporting, Templates, QuickPhrases

One of the most requested new features has been customized reporting and template building. Version 5.0 takes this to a new level with a flexible and customized report building platform built right into TIMS. Multiple templates can be created to fit each clinician’s needs. Since TIMS has complete access to all images in the study, key images can be automatically added. Any notes taken during the review or recording process and any Scoring information (introduced in version 4.5) are automatically entered into the report via the template. Multiple customized QuickPhrases can be defined to setup commonly used paragraphs, phrases, bulleted lists, and much more. Via a type-matching menu, QuickPhrases are added into individual reports and then can be modified as desired, saving minutes in the reporting process. For endoscopy, an integrated diagram tool (patent-pending) is included to specify the internal location of the image. With all of this automation, the report is nearly completed once the review and analysis process is done, saving significant time in the clinical review process. The reports can be sent to PACS, VNA, and EMR along with the video study or saved as a PDF for use elsewhere.

Notes
TIMS MVP 5.0 now provides a notes floating window to save SLPs significant time in the note-taking and reporting process. During the review process, or even while recording, SLPs can input notes on an overall study basis, or series-by-series as the notes window seamlessly auto-advances when you navigate between series during review. SLPs have an unobstructed view of the series video and all editing and review controls while utilizing the TIMS notes feature.
