New Peer Review Module in the Echo Credentialing Software Suite

April 20, 2006 -- HealthLine Systems is pleased to announce the development of a new module to support Peer Review activities in Echo. The module was previewed via a web conference on Wednesday, April 12th and attendees indicated that the module would support many of their peer review processes. The module will be available with the release of Version 3.5 later this spring.

Our goal is to provide our clients with tools proven to automate and streamline processes," explains Dan Littrell. "The release of the Peer Review module provides ground breaking integration of provider data that can be used to improve quality while lowering costs.

The Peer Review Module uses multiple sources of performance data to support performance measurement improvement activities and regulatory compliance. Multiple peer review processes can be designed, developed and employed across the enterprise or facility. Peer review administrators define the elements to be tracked and measured providing maximum flexibility.

Data entry is streamlined and records can be attached to either provider or patient records. Data can be imported from third-party legacy systems, eliminating manual keying. Fields are available to capture dates, table values and an unlimited amount of text. Links to scanned images such as hard copy documentation are also available.

All peer review information is accessible for reporting including Excel spreadsheets for three dimensional charts for aggregate data reporting. Listing and one-click “worklists” identify areas that require action or follow-up. The Peer Review module supports your state and federal compliance activities by providing a standardized process from initiation to conclusion.
