Newest Report-Generating Software
Has Distinctive “On-the Job” Edge –
Helps Hospitals Meet Requirements
WOODBURY, NJ: Today, more than ever, America’s hospitals have a pressing need for comprehensive software programs specifically designed to interact comfortably and seamlessly with continually increasing governing body mandates and reporting requirements.
QA Works, the latest newcomer to the Hospital Quality Management Systems arena, stands apart from a crowded field because its designers mandated it to be exceptionally on-the-job intelligent and down-to-earth solutions oriented. As an integrated system designed in great part by members of the same peer groups for whom it has been created, QA Works delivers a no-nonsense approach to accurately and efficiently provide hospital management teams with the reports and analysis demanded by the Joint Commission and other governing bodies.
QA Works collects, stores, and generates custom reports on Peer Review, Infection Control, Patient Safety and Risk Profile Events, Physician Profiling for Reappointment (including Focused Professional Practice Evaluation and Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation).
The system is also capable of analyzing, reporting and forecasting QA improvement program action plans.
“Unlike so many other products,” says Ted Hurewitz, president of Global Medical Informatics, LLC, the product’s parent company, “we have not added a complex, costly morass of unnecessary bells and whistles that might look good on a computer screen, but are totally burdensome and illogical when measured against a user’s specific demands.
“On the contrary, QA Works is faster, cheaper, intuitive to use and highly accurate because it is totally dedicated to giving hospital managers exactly what they need and in personalized formats. In my opinion, QA Works is the kind of positive, product that delivers “meaningful use” whenever “users” are “builders”, states Hurewitz.
Real Time Feedback
QA Works significantly benefits hospitals by providing them with a series of software modules structured to outline the parameters of required documentation while providing instantaneous gap analysis in areas of deficiency. When custom modified to exact user requirements, QA Works will deliver feedback on the entire non-financial operational status of a hospital in a telegraphic “dashboard” format, updated in real time.
Initial modules in such core areas as Incident Reporting, Hospital Acquired Infection Reporting and Monitoring, and Quality Core Measures Reporting, will be expanded to provide an additional suite of comprehensive reports that cover broader categories including Quality, Safety, Risk and Contract Management, Peer Review, OPPE and FPPE.
