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.
