Dynamic Process Design Helps Hospitals Customize, Replicate and
Scale Best Practices
ORLANDO, Fla.(BUSINESS WIRE)
Institute for Healthcare Improvement: 21st Annual National Forum
Acesis, the enterprise software firm, headquartered in Silicon Valley
and focused on healthcare, today announced its expanded technology
solution, the Acesis Performance Improvement Platform that provides
hospitals digital performance assessment capabilities that can be easily
set up for each hospital's unique vision of quality care. Designed with
a Dynamic Business Application core and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)
delivery, the platform integrates review and reporting processes to
streamline performance improvement activities. Thanks to the intuitive
user interface and built-in flexibility, the hospital staff are
empowered to easily and cost-effectively adapt the solution to fit their
specific health system needs and constraints. As hospitals replicate and
scale their best practice processes, the new Acesis solution provides
the administrative support to enable true change management for ongoing
performance improvement.
Our Acesis Performance Improvement Platform provides hospitals and
health systems with the flexibility to continuously evolve, ultimately
improving their approach to raising standards of care as their needs
change,? said Kevin Chesney, CEO of Acesis. Through Acesis, hospital
leaders such as the Chief Medical Officer, VP of Quality and VP of Risk
Management, finally have the ability to streamline their best practices
within an interconnected, collaborative environment where information
becomes actionable knowledge. Acesis facilitates the evolution from
discrete and siloed views on activities to the connected and
comprehensive oversight and understanding needed to take action and
effect real change in healthcare.?
When it comes to healthcare technologies, solutions are often
over-hyped and fall short of expectations,? said Robert Wachter, M.D.,
Professor of Medicine, University of California-San Francisco (UCSF);
Associate Chairman, UCSF Department of Medicine; Chief of the Medical
Service, UCSF Medical Center. In this case however, the Acesis
Performance Improvement Platform has been tremendously helpful,
providing a dynamic and practical tool to help our physicians and staff
improve the quality and safety of the care we deliver.?
Acesis gives our division at UCSF the ability to systematically assess
quality through case review and analyze results effectively and in real
timethus moving from simple assessment into real improvement,? said
Arpana Vidyarthi, M.D., Director of Quality for the Division of Hospital
Medicine and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF) Division of Hospital Medicine. Acesis
makes it possible for our physicians to thoroughly and efficiently
examine individual medical cases thereby turning data into actionable
knowledge providing us with an effective mechanism to improve and
streamline our quality processes and better understand individual and
systemic issues that impact quality of care.?
The platform enables a wide variety of independent product modules
addressing specific performance improvement processes, such as focused
peer review, root cause analysis, incident reporting, OPPE, and
improvement projects. System users are given access to those features
appropriate for their responsibilities. Appropriate sharing of
de-identified case evaluations and outcome metrics can be used to foster
additional collaboration across hospital divisions to develop and track
best practices, still within a single system.
The efficiency and flexibility of the Acesis Performance Improvement
Platform also extends the reach of McKesson's InterQual decision support
criteria content into most any quality or performance improvement
process including utilization review and reimbursement recovery.
We continue to expand and strengthen our partner relationships so
healthcare organizations can benefit from more coordinated, more
efficient solutions to their healthcare management challenges,? said
Tammie Philips, Vice President of InterQual for McKesson Health
Solutions.
