Brazosport Partners with IHM on Care Quality Improvements

BURLINGTON, Mass. - June 3, 2015 - PRLog -- IHM (http://www.ihm-services.com), a leading provider of  clinical quality data management for hospitals,  is pleased to announce that Brazosport Regional Health System (BRHS) has chosen the IHM Concurrent Insight™ solution for their inpatient quality reporting tool to meet its clinical quality and business goals.   Concurrent Insight™ (CI) (http://www.ihm-services.com/concurrent-insight) is a software solution that enables hospitals to accurately report on the care quality of their patients in near real-time.   CI highlights care delivered or best-practice care not delivered, while a patient is still in the hospital. IHM gathers data from multiple sources and compares the data against the established evidence-based guide­lines.

BRHS has selected the CI solution for its real-time, actionable information that will help them improve patient care and safety, produce predictable medical outcomes, mitigate clinical risk, and improve financial performance.  BRHS will employ CI throughout its 158-bed community hospital.

“With the IHM Concurrent Insight solution, BRHS will continue to deliver state of the art care, and affect real quality improvement while patients are still in the bed”, says BRHS’s Director of Information Systems and BioMed, Todd Edwards. “Joan Bell, our VP of Quality Management, confirms that we will be able to monitor our patients in a way that will significantly impact our quality of care, which was never before fully realized across our organization”.
