Associations
One of the key roles of industry associations is the collection, processing and distribution of information on behalf of its membership. The healthcare industry associations are facing into a significant number of challenges, as result of major changes to the healthcare system, which will ultimately increase the need for their members to measure much more of what they manage and to use that measurement to look at both historical trends and predictive forecasts.
The days for managing by “gut feel” are over and there is call to action to put the technology and processes in place to enable fact-based decision making.
OnApproach has the experience and the technology solutions to help healthcare associations turn data into information that can help their membership improve their analysis and decision making related to clinical, financial and operational performance.
SOLUTIONS
Vitalics
Vitalics is a web based reporting solution designed for hospital associations. It provides association members with the ability to access information about themselves and their peers via a secure web interface.
Vitalics takes the “raw” data collected by the association and processes the data so that it can be easily manipulated by the user via such features as filtering, drill down, pivoting, export to other common formats, etc. There are three levels of web-based reporting that can be offered to the membership:
- Base Package
- Executive Package
- Power User Package
depending on the needs of the member. Vitalics makes it possible for a member to spend 90% of their time on analyzing their data versus spending that time on report preparation.
Vitalics creates benefits for both the hospital association and its members:
