Medisolv was one vendor participant among an incredible sea of booth displays. Check out our booth display in this picture. All week, Medisolv employees got to chat with people from different parts of the country about their experience with Quality in their hospitals.
Dr. Zahid Butt, Medisolv CEO, ended the week with an exciting announcement about two new products that Medisolv is releasing in 2017. As a blog reader, you get an advanced look at these two new products.
Available in early summer.
A benchmarking software tool for quality and safety measures performance for hospitals and physicians.
Managing comparative performance against national and peer group benchmarks is becoming essential to maximize payments linked to quality in the value-based health system. Benchmarks for many new types of measures such as hospital Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) are simply not available; or, for established measures, are based on old data.
Enter Touchstone; the first benchmarking software of its kind for hospital eCQMs in the cloud. Additionally, this comprehensive benchmarking tool offers timely visibility into quality and safety measures for hospitals and physicians. Performance can be compared nationally, state-wide or even against peer groups using a simple user friendly, mobile enabled interface.
Touchstone monitors many quality measures required for reporting to the CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting, The Joint Commission ORYX Accreditation, Quality Payment Program (MIPS), Meaningful Use, Value-Based Purchasing, Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction and Readmission Reduction programs.
Medisolv will continue to add more measures for benchmarking in the future.
Select a measure and view your hospital’s performance data broken down by quarter, median rate and your ranking as compared to national averages.
Select a set of measures to see how the nation’s hospitals are performing by individual measure and specific quarter.

A tool to automate the Global Trigger Tool methodology.
Patient safety has become an important issue nationally. Patients, payers and regulators expect high quality and safe care. CMS wants hospitals to reduce adverse events. The Global Trigger Tool is one component of measuring and monitoring patient safety.
In 2003, the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) noticed a trend within hospitals; only 10-20% of medical errors were ever reported and the overwhelming majority of those reported errors caused no harm to patients. Traditionally, detecting adverse events is based on voluntary reporting, which has been shown to greatly under report. In response, the IHI developed the Global Trigger Tool methodology, which provides hospitals with a strategy to measure, review and standardize harms by using a number of triggers included in the tool.
Adoption of the Global Trigger Tool methodology has grown, but because the process is largely manual and not a government requirement, hospitals are still not identifying and monitoring adverse events.
In response to this, Medisolv has developed a new tool that automates the IHI’s methodology.
This new software application randomly samples inpatient visits based on the criteria set by IHI, allowing reviewers to identify triggers leading to adverse events. It also generates reports which enable users to analyze and develop mechanisms for safer healthcare.
The Abstraction List Report provides the abstraction status of all cases. You can click to abstract cases either as a Reviewer or Adjudicator.
The Reporting section contains four reports: Case Details, Completed Case List, Monthly Briefing Report and Triggers by Module.
Administrators can access the Audit Trail Log, Sampling and User Management section.
