Many health care consumers will soon become fluent in hospital quality scores, because all health care systems will soon report their results (i.e., outcomes) publicly, so health insurers and the public can compare quality of care and costs.
INTEGRIS is rare because we were very early to begin meticulously measuring our cardiac outcomes, in order to improve them. In 1990, we embraced the most rigorous form of scientific measurement available, in a partnership with Duke University.
Since 1990, we've developed a database that's produceda strong pattern of improved performance in countless areas. The partnership with Duke meant recording every aspect of a patient's care. This included the health problems the patient had on arrival, what procedures or treatments were done to improve the patient's condition, and if there were any complications during care. By tracking every facet of each patient's hospital experience, we've built a many-years-deep resource that's led to continual, incremental improvements.
So we're uniquely prepared to educate you on the fundamentals of outcomes reporting. On our Web site, you'll gain the tools to make better-informed decisions about your hospital care, right here.
