Quantros to Showcase IRIS Clinical Quality and Patient Safety Platform at HIMSS Conference

MILPITAS, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Quantros, a leading provider of quality, safety and clinical business intelligence solutions for the healthcare industry, will be attending the 2013 HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition, taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana from March 3 - 7, 2013. Visitors to booth #7940 will have the opportunity to evaluate Quantros IRIS Executive™, a clinical quality and patient safety platform that integrates data from across a healthcare organization’s quality, safety and billing systems.

Quantros IRIS Executive ensures all stakeholders maximize the value of quality, safety and billing data by presenting it via a highly configurable, role-based dashboard. IRIS draws upon Quantros’ repository of safety event data - the largest available in the healthcare industry - as well as external data sources to support customized comparative reporting that offers pinpoint visibility across operational domains. By eliminating barriers to meaningful data, IRIS offers a single, reliable source of knowledge that drives improvement efforts.

“Without a way to harness it properly, the amount of data available to healthcare providers can be overwhelming,” said Gerard Livaudais, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Quantros. “Decision-makers must be able to separate ‘signal’ from ‘noise’, with less volume and more strategic data, and share that performance improvement focus for staff across the organization. We are excited to participate in the 2013 HIMSS Conference and share with attendees the tremendous value of IRIS in handling the data deluge to deepen understanding, sharpen focus and align improvement efforts for safety, quality and surveillance.”

“The flexibility of IRIS is very exciting for us,” said Janet Albers, RN, Quality Clinical Data Director for Jackson Health System. “As we integrate data systems across multiple acute care facilities and, eventually, in our outpatient settings, IRIS will give us organization-wide visibility into how we manage patients and strengthen our culture of safety.”
