Enhancing Capabilities with Informational Tools and Educational Programs
As part of our firm commitment to meet the informational needs of healthcare personnel, we seek to continually refine the diagnostic skills of laboratorians and practitioners alike in Acute Care™ Diagnostics with tools that include:

  Clinical Process Review– This benchmarking process involves process review and analysis, operational observations and data mining to provide facility-wide recommendations that comply with practice guidelines such as those published by the ACC, AHA, CDC, JC, NACB, etc.
  Bed Turn Analysis– In support of the efforts to reduce ED overcrowding and limit patient diversion practices, we analyze ED patient volume and flow patterns in order to provide recommendations to improve patient management efficiencies.
  Downstream Economic Analysis– This analysis is designed to identify and project potential economic savings by maximizing reimbursement levels and initiating operational improvements.
  Protocol Design– Based on existing facility logistics, demographics, care paths, etc., efficient and cost-effective strategies are developed and recommended as part of the process to improve patient triage.
 

Outcomes Modeling– An estimated return-on-investment model is provided to substantiate the savings associated with the implementation of the team's recommendations. For an example, click here.
