Problem | Having highly trained staff conduct chart review to identify areas of improvement is expensive and time consuming. Identifying areas of improvement are key, but finding events that negatively impact the quality of care or increase the cost of care after they, occur does not prevent errors.

Outcome| Using FIXXER you can eliminate the difficult, high cost, and labor intensive work of reviewing charts. Start your day with rounding documents emailed to you or any staff that:

• List all patients you will see that day or week

• Automatically identifies all HEDIS and UDS preventive health measures like diabetes care or cancer screening

• Highlights key clinical and operational priorities

• Reduce staff cost by >$50,000

Automated texts and emails with your patients appointment reminders, admitting or checki-in documents, no show follow-up messages, and discharge instructions that will increase organizational profit by >$150,000

Solution| Shepard Health’s FIXXER is a real-time healthcare analytics and data warehouse that allows clinical and administrative teams to manage compliance with best practices in real-time. If deviations are identified, alerts will be triggered so action can be taken to fix the deviation in workflow and prevent events that negatively impact the quality or cost of care.
