Data Services Program™
Understanding Your Clinical Data
This RMF Strategies program assists your organization in understanding which clinical areas and systemic vulnerabilities are responsible for patient harm and financial loss, by using claims and financial data. The Data Services Program classifies, structures, and loads an electronic client data file into a secure database engine, giving you the ability to abstract and code medical malpractice claims. The result is meaningful data you can use to improve program management and enhance patient safety and loss prevention initiatives and activities.
The Data Services Program makes it possible…
- to use our proprietary coding algorithm to clinically code your cases in order to identify the root cause of an event
- to analyze your claims data from a clinical perspective and identify trends over time
- to enhance patient safety and loss prevention initiatives and activities by using data to drive decisions regarding interventions
- to measure the impact of specific interventions
- to benchmark your organization against others
