"About 50% of TJC standards are directly related to patient safety. TJC standards
require organizations to maintain a process for the identification, reporting, analysis
and presentation of safety measures and sentinel events (unexpected occurrences
involving death or injury)."

Mediware provides performance management software products and professional
services to help your organization significantly improve patient safety and related
clinical outcomes. Mediware integrates and analyzes all information aspects of patient
safety, from medication errors to patient falls to restraint and seclusion. You
examine emerging trends and existing variances to identify problem areas and track
progress in improving performance. Mediware's solution brings the analysis and
management all of these insights together into a single comprehensive solution so
you can make better decisions and achieve better results.
Every healthcare organization is different in terms of patient mix, processes and
roles. As such, Mediware does not offer a cookie cutter solution to managing the
delivery of care to your patients. Instead, Mediware allows you to find the right
approach by providing the timely insights you need to identify, analyze, report
and present patient safety measures. Mediware combines and analyzes extensive data
from disparate sources and systems into a powerful point-and-click patient safety
scorecard on your desktop. This scorecard, and the proactive management environment
it enables, is an invaluable tool in meeting TJC's safety standards and an essential
party of every healthcare organization's safety and risk reduction programs.
Understanding the details is the key to effective safety and risk reduction
efforts. You cannot manage gross averages and high-level summaries when it comes
to patient care. Mediware puts all the details just a mouse click away through dynamic
drill-downs and compelling graphics. For example, you can view daily medication
errors by facility, department or unit, type of medication and physician. Review
safety and risk measures through statistical process control charts that help you
distinguish between emerging trends and normal fluctuations in performance. Mediware
gives you the understanding needed to create a sound process for improving safety
and to nurture a culture of safety.
Results achieved in improving patient safety have a positive ripple effect
throughout your organization and community. Mediware can help elevate your organization's
safety and risk management programs to new heights.
