Why

Throughout the world, hospital managers and directors are uncertain about the quality and reliability of the data collected by their systems. Collecting a large volume of data doesn’t guarantee the service quality and financial and managerial efficiency of a hospital. What makes the difference is the selection and interpretation of relevant information.

Reflex

DPI developed Reflex: a tool enabling management to monitor quality. Based on the HSMR indicator (Hospital Standardized Mortality Ratio) and the hospital’s data, Reflex provides the following indicators:

  • Mortality
  • Long length of stay
  • readmissions

Benefits

The main benefit of this system is its ability to process the hospital data that has already been collected, no matter how complex or extensive it is. This benefit guarantees instant feedback for managers and specialists, and consequently directs improvement.

Features

Monitoring

The starting point for the data analysis is the outcome of each admission. The indicators are mortality, readmissions and long stays. The visualization of these indicators is provided in detail, given the specialties, diagnosis groups and procedures. The system also incorporates a number of filters like age, gender and urgency.

Visualization

Comparison between the expected and observed outcomes are the starting point for exploring underlying causes. Reflex can rank admissions using specific filters, for instance patients with unexpected long stays. From this, necessary improvements can be identified.

Benchmark

The data generated by Reflex can be benchmarked against data from other hospitals (where available), regional or national averages, other countries and so on. There are numerous possibilities for identification of improvement areas and best practices.

Optimized financial performance

Identifying factors to be improved can lead to better management of human and financial resources. For example, imagine how much time of doctors, nurses and technicians is wasted re-coding patient information? What about the costs of avoidable adverse events? Better allocation of such resources can lead to visible changes in results.

Quality cycle

After selecting cases for detailed review and identifying factors that need change, managers can build a quality and monitoring cycle. This can be applied in both medical services and managerial/financial performance. In addition, when an improvement is made, its effects can be monitored in the same system. The more the data is used, the better, more precise and reliable it becomes over time.

Contact us for a demonstration or a proposal It is relatively easy to practically test Reflex in your hospital. We can provide the required format in which the discharge data of your hospital can be imported into Reflex. The initial data processing takes up to two months and presents the risk profile of the institution. After the initial processing, monthly updates with the most recent data will be performed.
