Allscripts Quality Management
Allscripts Quality Management (QM) integrates quality, process, and outcomes measures into your care management program. With Allscripts QM, care managers and quality improvement specialists document and monitor JCAHO core measures, CMS quality measures, and other ad-hoc quality indicators that you create in the system. Allscripts QM brings quality and outcomes monitoring closer to the point of care.
Most quality management programs begin evaluating the quality provided to a patient weeks or even months after they have been discharged from the facility. Using Allscripts QM, you can begin monitoring quality while the patient is still being treated in the hospital allowing your organization to still affect the quality of care being provided.
