Business Wire
QuadraMed� Corporation (Amex:QD), a leading provider of innovative
IT solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced that its
QuadraMed Surgery MDS solution will be showcased during the AORN
(Association of periOperative Registered Nurses) 54th Congress,
March 11-15 in Orlando, Florida, booth 1091. Surgery MDS is a
scalable, Web-based module within QuadraMed Enterprise Scheduling
providing an integrated scheduling, management and documentation
system for hospital surgical departments, and is planned for
general availability in April 2007. QuadraMed Surgery MDS is
designed to improve patient safety by correctly scheduling
non-surgical and surgical procedures in case format, utilizing the
proven rules-based QuadraMed scanning engine and custom
questionnaires. In the operating room, Surgery MDS produces faster,
more accurate electronic documentation, relieving nurses of the
responsibility to complete paper documents and giving them more
time to provide direct patient care. �QuadraMed Surgery MDS is an
important new product offering to the healthcare industry,
particularly to the group of perioperative Registered Nurses who
are gathered for the annual AORN Congress,� said Keith B. Hagen,
QuadraMed President and CEO. �As the latest addition to our
Care-Based Revenue Cycle solutions, Surgery MDS strengthens our
ability to enable healthcare providers to deliver quality care and
leverage that quality care into positive financial results.
QuadraMed is delivering on our commitment to provide healthcare
organizations with technology solutions that enable them to deliver
the highest level of care and ensure the safety of every patient,
and QuadraMed Surgery MDS is another example of this commitment.�
QuadraMed Surgery MDS offers benefits ranging from increased
efficiency to ensuring proper billing and better management of
surgical inventories. Patient and procedure conflicts are resolved
automatically to improve patient satisfaction. The system
incorporates all the tools needed to track complete case detail
utilizing up to five perioperative modules, and creates electronic
�Preference Cards� that include OR set-up, expendable supplies, and
other individual preferences to raise surgeon satisfaction. After a
procedure is completed, QuadraMed Surgery MDS generates a detailed
billing file containing an accurate list of all supplies actually
provided to improve the revenue cycle, and maintains all of the
case documentation, eliminating the need to store paper records.
Inventory Control functionality, working in conjunction with the
Preference Card and Peri-Operative modules, then enables nursing
staff to re-order expendable supplies electronically for tighter,
more efficient inventory management. QuadraMed Enterprise
