Ensemble-based CMS Quality Manager Will Deliver Real-time Quality Data
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
InterSystems Corporation today announced that Technology Medical Partners
(T-M-Partners) has selected the InterSystems Ensemble rapid integration and
development platform for its CMS Quality Manager healthcare application. The
first of many healthcare technology solutions under development by T-M-Partners,
CMS Quality Manageris designedto vastly improve the data abstraction and
administrative processes of reporting core measures to the Centers for Medicaid
and Medicare Services (CMS).

InterSystems develops innovative integration, database, and business
intelligence products. T-M-Partners, an InterSystems application partner, has
made a name for itself developing composite healthcare solutions that improve
quality, cash flow and efficiencies for healthcare providers through the
improvement of data access, administrative workflow and quality.

Ensemble is used to develop and integrate mission-critical applications,
leverage previous software investments through composite applications, and
establish an enterprise service bus or SOA infrastructure. Ensemble-based
projects are deployed in hundreds of organizations in healthcare, government,
financial services, and other industries where reliability and high-performance
are paramount concerns.

"Healthcare has many human-based processes in need of data access, automation
and process improvement," said Jeff Burke, Managing Partner at T-M-Partners.
"The InterSystems Ensemble platform enables us to rapidly configure these
processes and access data in a way that simplifies the user experience and do so
on a platform designed for continuous improvement, speed and scalability. The
bottom line benefit to healthcare providers includes higher quality, lower
costs, higher efficiency and improved patient and employee satisfaction."

Delivering Benefits of Real Time Quality Data

The ability of the Ensemble-based CMS Quality Manager to provide data in
real-time mode leads to improvement and control of quality processes and patient
outcomes, according to Burke. "Efficient reporting of CMS quality data is just
the beginning," he noted. "Quality measures that are actionable in real time
will allow for rapid corrective actions and better quality of care processes.
And," Burke continued, "dashboards provide forms, charts, reports, tables and
graphs that present executives and managers with key quality data in the format
they prefer." In addition, the CMS Quality Manager portal provides role-based
access to key items such as processes, activities, tasks lists and roles. The
application also provides automated workflow that enables CMS Quality Report
processes, notifications, alerts, escalations and delegation. "Rules and alerts
will enable care-givers to properly meet quality guidelines and improve in real
time, rather than in weeks, or even months, after the fact," Burke pointed out.
"That real-time improvement of outcomes leads to financial rewards and patient
satisfaction as well as improved pay for performance."

"T-M-Partners` healthcare expertise in quality methods like Six Sigma coupled
with their experience in technology implementations and solution development
means that they are helping their clients apply business process and technology
directly to high impact, highly visible pain points. This yields more immediate
financial returns," said Matthew Nee, InterSystems Vice President of North
American Sales. "We are excited to have been selected as T-M-Partners` platform
of choice for the development of composite healthcare applications like their
new CMS Quality Manager."
