Crimson Real Time in the news
Topics: Readmissions, Quality, Performance Improvement
Crimson Real Time Readmissions was recently featured in Becker's Hospital Review.
"However, it's important that hospitals and health systems not only give physicians data once in a while in an ad-hoc manner, but ensure that there's a good feedback loop for giving them data as close to real time as possible. That data should be relevant and meaningful to the physicians and tie back to their goals and the goals of the system so that they may utilize the data to continuously improve their practice. For example, Mercy physicians can access data via a program called Crimson, which is part of the Advisory Board Company. Crimson provides a significant amount of quality process improvement, financial and clinical data to physicians.
Through this program, we're educating physicians and giving them access to their own data in real time. They don't have to be dependent on us to provide data, but can analyze their data themselves and learn from it. They can understand how they're performing relative to not only their own cohorts but also relative to their own specialty across hospitals in the database and relative to national benchmarks. This is a great learning tool that also generates questions and dialogue amongst physicians, between chiefs of staff and chairs of departments and the members of the departments. Crimson data is available in the ambulatory setting as well. This is just one example of the various tools out there that can do the same type of reporting for systems."
