Emergency Department Advisor™

Your ED is the Patient’s Gateway to Your Hospital — Gain the Insight to Keep it Running at Peak Efficiency

Emergency Department Advisor

More than 600 off-the-shelf KPIs

When patients visit your emergency department, they need to be treated safely and effectively. Anything else just adds on to what is already a fraught experience. The more streamlined and consumer-friendly your ED is, the more likely patients will have a positive experience and trust your hospital for their families’ care.

When you think about improving your ED operations, it’s important to look at not just your processes on how you treat patients and ensure quality and safety, but also your waste or moments when patients are left waiting—leading to patient frustration, higher left without being seen (LWBS) numbers, and worse patient outcomes.

Dimensional Insight’s Emergency Department Advisor helps you make sense of your wealth of data to make the right improvements to increase revenue, improve patient satisfaction scores, and improve patient outcomes.

Deploying these applications results in deep and sustained clinical, financial, and operational improvements that impact patient care and your organization’s bottom line. Diver Platform and Dimensional Insight’s Library of Applications satisfy your health system’s enterprise reporting needs.

Benefits to the Library of Applications approach

w

Data trust across departments

Data governance ensures the use of consistent, standardized, validated, and documented business rules and measures across applications. This means all departments are using the same definitions for decision-making.

}

Quick to implement

Dimensional Insight uses a proven process that leads to short implementation times and quick time to value. Applications build on previously implemented Dimensional Insight apps, leading to even shorter deployment times, especially when compared to department-specific apps from multiple vendors.

Lower overall costs

Because Dimensional Insight Applications are all built upon Diver Platform, hospitals do not incur the high costs associated with licensing and supporting solutions from multiple vendors.

Consistent look and feel across application areas

Applications all have a consistent, intuitive look and feel.  Moving from one application to another is seamless. Executives and other users do not have to learn several applications.
