HealthTrust Performance Group has launched SurgIntel, a medical device implant analytics tool that can help healthcare providers determine ways to improve patient care.
Drawing insights from HealthTrust's membership base of more than 1,800 hospitals and 69,000 alternate care sites, the intelligence platform is designed to provide hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and health systems with comprehensive visibility and benchmarking on procedure supply expense and device utilization.
Medical Device Management (MDM) is a HealthTrust value-added service built by operators and guided by physicians to help organizations go beyond pricing to capture value, cost-savings and physician alignment. The MDM team specializes in engaging physicians and supply chain to lower cost-per-case in the orthopedics, spine, and cardiovascular service lines with the objectives of enhancing quality, lowering medical device spend and preventing long-term savings erosion in these high spend, clinically sensitive categories.
“SurgIntel's medical device implant database has the potential to revolutionize healthcare decision-making,” said Chris J. Stewart, vice president of MDM for HealthTrust. “By integrating vast data and advanced analytics, we provide comprehensive, tailored insights for providers. Empowering health systems with personalized cost-per-case information can optimize implant selection, eliminate unnecessary variation and lead to improved patient outcomes. These advancements in data analytics are reshaping healthcare delivery.”
HealthTrust's registry software, InVivolink, combines an orthopedic and spine implant registry with web-based technology that aims to educate and inform patients while building physician-patient relationships and collecting patient-reported outcomes. Patient interactions and data collection start before surgery and continue up to a year after discharge from a hospital.
