Quality Alert™
IHM's Quality Alert product highlights care that has been delivered- or not yet delivered- while a patient is still in the hospital. Quality Alert provides near real time information on patients most appropriate for special attention and dramatically reduces the manual collection of data from multiple sources.
Quality Alert™ offers:
- Detailed individual patient clinical information delivered twice daily on patients who are still in-house

- Core Measures from the Joint Commission (TJC) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), American Heart and Stroke Associations Practice Guidelines
- Nursing sensitive indicators such as fall assessment, restraints and skin assessments from the National Quality Forum (NQF) and the National Database of Nursing Quality indicators (NDNQI)
- Bundle Approach to care of patients with mechanical ventilation or central lines from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
- Critical Medical events such as sepsis and blood sugar management of the acutely ill patient from the Society for Critical Care Medicine and IHI
- Critical laboratory results and rescue medications as defined by the IHI Global Trigger Tool
- Critical Medication events from the Institute for Safe Medication Practice and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists
- Ability to search all electronically available notes
