A local hospital is promoting their new clinical documentation
system and electronic medical health records as a cost containment
tool that will improve communication among health care workers,
support the delivery of safe patient care, and facilitate the
delivery of high-quality patient care. The hospital describes the
system as effective in reducing costs by decreasing variability and
standardizing care processes. When reviewing outcome data from the
hospital on the publicly reportable data website,
https://www.hhs.gov/blog/tags/hospital-compare the outcomes
for heart failure, surgical, and pneumonia patients are higher than
the national average and much higher than at other hospitals in the
area.
