Brief Summary

Online module combining vetted patient-reported outcomes assessment tools with data analytics to deliver consistent and reliable data for use in clinical, financial, and research applications.

Problem Statement

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are the leading indicator of health care service quality. Collecting patient data, however, often requires manually aggregating and calculating outcomes. Complexity and time constraints limit the use of PROs in many healthcare systems.

Technology Description

MeVal allows patients to report information electronically, which is then stored within their electronic medical record (EMR). MeVal combines the best PRO data assessment tools with business intelligence reporting infrastructure. This system facilitates an integrated and seamless capture and visualization of PROs, and reveals data trends for clinical, financial, and research purposes. The module also allows clinicians to access patient assessments in real- time for immediate incorporation into treatment plans.
