As we all know, providing quality care is extremely difficult, especially in our current environment.
Between the resulting effects of the pandemic, increased competition, and numerous value-based/managed care programs, being able to understand and use data to improve the cost and quality of care is essential. However, there has always been a need to better manage the cost and quality of care.
Trisus Decision Support, formerly known as Hospital Cost Management, was developed over twenty years ago at a US-owned transplant hospital in Palermo, Italy. Performing transplant surgeries and the long-term treatment of these patients is complicated and costly. Each step in the process -- from acquiring the appropriate organ(s), enlisting top-tier surgeons, providing resources for lengthy surgeries, and obtaining expensive anti-rejection medications -- requires significant oversight to ensure cost-efficient quality outcomes. Hospital Cost Management, as it was known, was designed to meticulously track and manage the costs and margins for these activities.
Due to the improved results generated in Italy, the product was brought to the US and adapted to manage cost and margin across the entire network. The resultant success led to the commercialization and subsequent sale of the product in 2015. At that point, the architect and his team came to Craneware to develop the next generation solution for analyzing and improving the financial posture of healthcare providers, Trisus Decision Support.
