PHS Signs Agreement With Premier Healthcare Alliance

Prime Healthcare Services, a provider of hospital management solutions, has signed an agreement with the Premier healthcare alliance, a repository of hospital clinical and financial information, to employ Quality Measures Reporter to meet public inpatient and outpatient regulatory reporting requirements for its nine hospitals in California.

Prime Healthcare will deploy Quality Measurers Reporter at Centinela Hospital Medical Center, Inglewood; Chino Valley Medical Center, Chino; Desert Valley Medical Center, Victorville; Huntington Beach Hospital, Huntington Beach; La Palma Intercommunity Hospital, La Palma; Montclair Hospital Medical Center, Montclair; Paradise Valley Hospital, National City; Sherman Oaks Hospital, Sherman Oaks; and West Anaheim Medical Center, Anaheim.

According to the company, Quality Measures Reporter captures and reports on more data at the physician and nursing unit level than any other product, enabling hospitals to track performance against national benchmarks and identify performance opportunities to increase clinical quality and efficiency, ensuring performance-based reimbursement and protecting market share.

The reporting tool is integrated into the Premier Performance Suite, which includes benchmarking, reporting analysis and real-time surveillance of clinical, safety, financial, operational, labor productivity and supply data.

Prem Reddy, chairman of the board at PHS, said: “Prime Healthcare Services strives to achieve highest quality of patient care standards at all of its affiliated hospitals. Yet in a compassionate and cost-effective manner.”
