ABS Systems

ABS Systems (Booth 1138) is debuting HospitalMetrics 2.0, a healthcare-focused business intelligence solution.

HospitalMetrics 2.0 layers on top of existing operational data systems, such as HIS, ADT, EMR, human resources, finance and others. Designed for hospitals, HospitalMetrics allows healthcare facilities to leverage their existing investments in health IT.

HospitalMetrics includes a range of predefined reports covering topics, such as case costing, pay-for-performance, quality, inpatient census, human resources, denials and other areas. Based on the reports, users can quickly make changes in their institution's average length of stay and identify factors that have created the interruption. Budget overruns can similarly be identified problems and best practices can be implemented across clinical departments.
