Enhance Financial Performance

While each hospital emergency department is a unique environment with unique challenges and no one size fits all exists when it comes to the return on investment with any EDIS, implementing Forerun ED™ applications can, and has translated directly into improved operating margins for our customers.

Complete and accurate documentation, improved protocol compliance, and resource optimization reduce complexity, reduce costs, improve billing efficiency, and increase profitability. Here are a few ways Forerun can provide your hospital with returns on your investment.

Real Time Monitoring of Operational Performance

Remote, real-time access to the Forerun Department View™ and Forerun's embedded reporting tools generate timely, critical date and reports on the "operational health" of the emergency department. Executives can quickly access the data they need to support managerial decisions, substantiate quality measures, and fullfill reporting obligations to external organizations such as Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and payors (RAC, audits, etc.).

Increase Patient Safety

Forerun applications are designed to facilitate clinical intervention by providing on-the-spot access to the latest patient information as well as hospital care protocols and best practices. Relevant, intuitive alerts inform the clinicians of critical test values, special precautions, multiple visits within a 72 hour window, and more. The data structure in the Forerun ED™ applications allows for real-time analysis providing cues for quality measures.

Increase Patient and PCP Satisfaction

Studies show that a patient's satisfaction with their overall hospital visit is closely tied to their satisfaction in the emergency department. The Forerun ED™ enables improved department management resulting in reduced patient wait times, and improved communication with patients and their primary care physicians which together translate into a better patient experience. Primary care physicians also benefit from full and complete hand-offs with email or remote access to the patient's ED visit details. Satisfied patients and PCPs lead to greater volume for your ED and inpatient services.

Improve Quality Measures

The Forerun ED™ helps emergency departments fulfill data reporting requirements to agencies like The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Forerun ED™ captures substantial patient data related to Core Measures and operational statistics allowing for the real time preparation and monitoring of reportable quality measures.
