Providers

Hundreds of hospitals are switching to the Milliman Care Guidelines^®, due in part to its rigorous evidence-based development and the ease of access to evidence. Integrated, diagnosis-specific references, footnotes and abstracts are all accessible and documentable within a user's workflow, giving clients the tools needed to drive higher-quality care and review the use of medical resources.

Implement the Care Guidelines^® in your hospital and use them to:

• Identify and reduce variances from best-practice care delivery – Improve organizational efficiency and quality of care by tracking variances from evidence-based practice and resource delays through standard and custom reports.
• Provide tools that support discharge planning and care transitions – Care pathway tables offer recovery milestones to track patient progress and promote proactive discharge planning. A range of care management and patient-information tools support safe care transitions and help prevent avoidable readmissions.
• Document appropriate, evidence-based levels of care – Determine observation, inpatient, and other levels of care using evidence-based criteria. Document all guideline interaction within user workflow using point-and-click software, reducing risk through a comprehensive audit trail.
• Support patient-centered care with handouts and education – Foster patient and family understanding of quality and efficiency concepts with patient handouts that detail inpatient care plans. Pertinent topics and issues may also be addressed with families through additional patient- education tools.
• Monitor adherence to integrated HQA and Joint Commission measures – Enable efficient documentation of compliance, using measures that are flagged and footnoted throughout appropriate guidelines.
