Alvarado Hospital Selects The Quantros Suite of Solutions for Safety Management and Quality Reporting
Adoption of Quantros Safety and Risk Management and Quantros Regulatory Reporting Management to Provide New Levels of Safety and Quality Integration
San Francisco, CA-August 10, 2007 - Quantros, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-wide software for safety and quality solutions in healthcare, today announced that Alvarado Hospital, one of San Diego's premier healthcare providers, has adopted The Quantros SRM for Safety and Risk Management and Quantros RRM for Regulatory Reporting Management. As part of this agreement Alvarado Hospital will also leverage new technology for integrating Core Measures Variance Triggers from Quantros RRM into Quantros SRM. This added level of automated data integration will provide Alvarado Hospital with a new level of insight that can further its quest for continuous safety improvement throughout its organization.
Alvarado Hospital was using Quantros RRM as part of Tenet Health System when it was divested last year. Upon review of current systems, the organization made the decision to continue using Quantros as its vendor of choice for quality reporting to The Joint Commission and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In addition, Alvarado Hospital is also utilizing Quantros RRM for submissions to The Society for Thoracic Surgery (STS) Cardiac Registry and the ACC-NCDR CathPCI Registry.
After careful review of several other applications, Alvarado Hospital also selected Quantros SRM to aggregate, manage, report and analyze safety event data. The Quantros Safety and Risk Management Suite of Solutions include Quantros Safety and Risk Management (SRM) in support of patient, visitor and employee event tracking as well as a component for integrating Core Measures Variance Data Triggers. This added level of integration automatically routes the information from Quantros RRM to Quantros SRM and provides a new, automated level of data trend visibility and actionable knowledge.
"Having Quantros SRM and Quantros RRM within our organization will provide us with the data we need to further our goals in safety and quality improvement," noted Karin Berntsen, Director of Quality, Risk, and Care Management at Alvarado Hospital. "Key drivers for our decision to use Quantros included the ease of application use and deployment, the strength of the reporting and analysis tools, and the industry reputation and insight into the future of safety and quality management systems," she continued.
Quantros President and CMO Sanjaya Kumar MD, noted, "Alvarado Hospital has a passion for providing continued safety and quality and performance improvement across its organization. With Quantros solutions in place, they will be able to further fuel that drive through the use of real-time, actionable knowledge across the safety and quality continuum."
