Surgical Information Systems Receives HFMA Peer Reviewed Designation
Chicago—The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) recently reviewed Surgical Information Systems (SIS) using the Peer Review Process. After undergoing the rigorous review SIS Analytics has been granted the “Peer Reviewed by HFMA®” designation.
SIS Analytics is an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use, perioperative business analytics solution that turns valuable data from a hospital’s OR into on-demand, actionable information. SIS Analytics provides clinical and business decision makers with actionable intelligence to improve operations through OR resource utilization and the ability to measure and affect financial success by analyzing cost variances between services and surgeons. The solution also supports patient safety goals through clinical outcomes analysis and the measurement of quality indicators. SIS Analytics provides key stakeholders with a clearer picture of their OR’s performance.
“Successful ORs are key drivers of the overall financial health of hospitals,” says SIS CEO Ed Daihl. “SIS
Analytics supports hospitals’ goals to improve productivity, financial performance, and care quality by making information more useable with role-based perioperative views that display data in graphical ways that can be consumed and acted upon. The HFMA’s strenuous Peer-Reviewed process validates SIS
Analytics’ ability to unlock the data needed to manage and optimize this important area of the hospital.”
HFMA’s Peer Review process is designed to provide healthcare financial managers with an objective third party evaluation of products and services used in the healthcare finance workplace. The rigorous, eleven-step process consists of a peer review panel of current customers, prospects who have not made a purchase, and expert HFMA Peer Review board members. Peer Review status approval of the product or service and its performance claims are based on effectiveness, quality and usability, price, value, and customer and technical support.
“HFMA’s Peer Review process provides our membership with the assurance that those who have earned
the designation have met a rigorous screening process,” says HFMA President and CEO Richard L.
Clarke, DHA, FHFMA. “The Peer Reviewed designation helps members and others identify and evaluate products and services that their organization may need. It can also create brand awareness and recognition in the healthcare finance marketplace for Peer Reviewed products and services.”
