Working with the quality team to get a clear understanding of their processes and industry best practices, Shaman Software built AXIS, a robust, scalable solution that is easy to use, powerful, and fully automated.  Additionally, the solution seamlessly integrates with other practice software and national reporting agency (AQI/NACOR) requirements. Now APC has an industry leading quality solution that has made quality data a meaningful asset to their practice.

The solution includes:

1. Efficient Data Capture
1. Case event indicators are defined by national organizations and are subject to change. The indicator management module empowers users to comply with the latest definitions and see how legacy data was entered resulting in more efficient and accurate data collection.
2. Benchmark data from The Anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI) is imported directly into the solution so care providers and practice management can see how quality results compare to national averages.
3. The intuitive interface promotes efficient and accurate data entry and training and solution use compliance.
4. Coded metrics for data entry alert users to any data entered that falls outside of or is not in compliance with established ranges preventing data entry errors.
2. Case Review
1. Morbidity and mortality and case event reviews with physicians are made efficient  with a dedicated module for group review meetings so communication is centralized and accurate.
2. Case event data is tracked with multiple variables giving practice management the power to filter outstanding issues specifically to the parties involved with the case.
3. Reporting
1. Benchmark comparison reporting can be generated by a single or combination of multiple variables to see how quality metrics compare to national averages which allows management to identify issues quickly and accurately.
2. Once a report is defined, it can be scheduled to be run and delivered to any audience group on an automated basis so reports are consistent and require no ongoing administrative resources.
3. A few clicks aggregates, formats and delivers quality data to national agencies saving administrative time and providing value to all participating providers.
4. Product Marketing
