Improve Concurrent Review and Pay-For-Performance/Quality Compliance
"Point-of Care" Patient Management Tool
- Simplify and standardize Concurrent Inpatient Reviews
- Efficiently adjudicate Per Diem payment arrangements
- Reduce review times by up to 80%, with almost 100% inter-rater reliability
- Objectively document the appropriateness of adult inpatient hospital admissions
- Quickly and easily document Quality Improvement compliance
- Maximize Hospital reimbursement under new Pay-For-Performance, DRG and Case Rate criteria
- Better control hospital operating expenses and reduce staffing
Medical Scientific Resources of Nevada, Inc. (MSR) has introduced a revolutionary, cost-effective software tool to better manage adult hospital admissions, and assure that the quality of care provided remains high.
Patient care involves accurate, real-time decision-making - not retrospective decision-making based on assumed patient diagnosis algorithms such as InterQual or Milliman USA. The innovative MSR Monitor to Assess Progress (or MAP) is a true "Point-of-Care" management product - currently, there are no real-time "concurrent review" or real-time quality data information-gathering tools on the market.
- MSR Inpatient MAP - a concurrent review tool completed by a physician or nurse reviewer, on-site or telephonically. It is designed for the daily review of hospitalized patients eighteen years and older, including seniors, admitted as acute care hospital inpatients, or for extended observation. A carefully weighted set of patient symptoms and hospital services is used to help determine whether an inpatient stay is appropriate.
- MSR Quality MAP - a data collection instrument, designed to prompt the collection of, and accurately record data for, quality improvement studies required by accreditation or certification organizations. It can also be used for user-initiated quality or efficiency improvement projects. The module enhances the user's ability to meet JCAHO, URAC and NCQA requirements. The tool is customizable, and can accommodate 32 simultaneous studies.
- The MSR Resource MAP - a resource assessment tool designed for the daily monitoring of the staff and other resources used to treat patients. The information gathered can be downloaded daily for analysis.
The three related software modules can be applied and managed separately or as a coordinated patient database.
The introduction of national and regional "Pay-For-Performance" initiatives has prompted many providers to consider how to efficiently and effectively document their quality performance - and the MSR Quality MAP is an excellent, customizable tool. It is designed to quickly and accurately record, report and (at the time of service) double-check that the recommended diagnostic and/or treatment interventions are followed. Together with the MSR Inpatient MAP, these innovative tools will help providers to better manage and document their patient care in an efficient and extremely cost-effective manner. The new software tool is offered in both a server-based central database version and an individual-user version.
Technical / System Requirements, Compatibility and Encryption
- The new software is designed to operate on Microsoft Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 4).
- The data export format is MSSQL import/export, Microsoft Access MDB, Text (CSV), and Batch data import/export via SQL.
- The files are compatible with CSV file import, spread sheet file import, Access import, and Excel import
- The encryption type is AES
Database Architecture
The MSR MAP patient information can be stored and accessed in three configurations:
- Real Time Reviewer/Server Enterprise Version; the database used is Microsoft MSSQL 2005
- Network Data "Check Out / Check In" - patient records are checked out (copied to the reviewer's application) and the reviewer goes offline, updates the records, reconnects to the networks and checks the records back in. The "Check Out / Check In" process copying records from a Central MSSQL database to an Access database is housed on the administrator's computer.
- Physical Media "Check Out / Check In" - patient records are checked out by using a flash / USB drive which is hand-carried to the reviewer's computer and the data is imported. Records are then "Checked In" by copying them back to the master database via the flash / USB drive.
