QuantrosNov 3 2010

Quantros, a leading provider of clinically-focused data management and decision support solutions for the healthcare industry, has introduced its new Indicator Scorecard™ product. Part of the Quantros SRM™ (Safety and Risk Management) solution suite, Indicator Scorecard provides rate-based reporting on various adverse medical events for healthcare organizations interested in monitoring and improving their quality of care.

“As a result, providers can focus their improvement efforts on specific areas of care.”

The Indicator Scorecard enables organizations to capture and report rate-based metrics. The application calculates various measures at the facility and corporate levels, using numerators from patient safety events captured in Safety Event Manager™ and denominators from Denominator Manager™ - both products within Quantros SRM.

Hospitals have long struggled to identify standard rates for adverse events such as falls, medication errors, and pressure ulcers. In addition to automating a labor-intensive, manual process, the Indicator Scorecard can also facilitate the demonstration of American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet status eligibility.

"With the rate-based metrics provided by Indicator Scorecard, hospitals and other healthcare providers gain a clearer understanding of how adverse events are impacting their patient safety environment," said Chris Bethell, Vice President of Marketing for Quantros. "As a result, providers can focus their improvement efforts on specific areas of care."
