Acesis, the enterprise software company focused on healthcare performance improvement, today announced results from its first six months of service for the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Division of Hospital Medicine.
In early spring 2009, both parties signed an initial agreement that started the hospital’s use of the Acesis Performance Improvement Platform to automate I-CaRe (Inpatient Case Review), UCSF’s industry-leading medical case review system for assessing physician and system performance. The UCSF clinical team has customized, without assistance from their IT staff, the new Acesis software platform to efficiently streamline I-CaRe for UCSF’s extensive case review process.
Acesis’ Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering supports industry-leading new processes developed by UCSF’s acclaimed pioneers in patient safety: Robert Wachter M.D., Chief of the Division of Hospital Medicine, and Arpana Vidyarthi, M.D., the Division’s Director of Quality. Dr. Wachter is a globally recognized healthcare figure, known for his leadership in establishing organizational change, creating new models of clinical care, and advocating improved patient safety and quality. Dr. Vidyarthi heads UCSF’s programs to improve patient care in hospital medicine as well as develops programs across specialties to improve care delivered by hospital residents.
