MX.com Introduces New Healthcare Solutions That Reduce Hospital Operating Costs
Solutions Help Hospitals Assess Wasteful Practices and Adjust to Healthcare Legislation Changes
BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MX.com today announced the addition of three solutions designed to help hospital administrators reduce spending and improve new healthcare reform performance measures. Inexpensive and easy to implement, the solutions address unnecessary treatment, overspending and quality of care measures.
-- Blanchard Valley Health System's Value-Based Purchasing Interactive
Performance Modeler converts retrospective CMS Value-Based Purchasing
data into actionable information, enabling hospitals to improve quality
of care, interventions and provider education. It calculates the net
gain or loss for a hospital based on the 20 current CMS measures.
-- Advocate Physician Partners' ACO Suite: High-Cost Imaging Protocols uses
evidence-based methods to help physicians determine whether an imaging
procedure is medically necessary. Industry experts estimate that CT and
MRI scans cost about $26.5 billion annually, although up to half fail to
help diagnose ailments or treat patients.
-- Advocate Physician Partners' ACO Suite: Preferred Medication Charts give
physicians and other prescribers an easy-to-use format to find generic
medication alternatives for costly brand name drugs. The solution
includes more than 30 medication comparison charts that are easily
customizable and may be distributed in printed or electronic formats.
