News from OCS!
 

This week OCS and The Corridor Group, Inc. (TCG) announced an agreement to provide bundled offerings of OCS' industry-leading products with TCG's comprehensive consulting services for Home Health and Hospice agencies. In addition, this agreement will allow TCG to sell OCS' QAPI Snapshot directly to its Hospice clients.

Additionally, OCS is pleased to announce a joint, 12-month demonstration project with Associated Home Health Industries of Florida (AHHIF) that will investigate the effect OCS PatientView, the industry's leading predictive modeling service, has in reducing acute care hospitalizations and emergent care events.

If you have any questions, or would like more information, please send an email to info@ocsys.com or call us at 888.325.3396.


New Disease Management Dashboard Reports Are Now Available!
 

The OCS Disease Management Dashboard Reports for 4th Quarter 2006 are now available for download in OCS Connection.

All six disease specific dashboards (Wound Care, Anticipated High Therapy cases, V57, COPD, Heart Failure and Diabetes) include comparative information on clinical outcomes, visit utilization, and financial performance.

The OCS Disease Management Dashboards provide a consolidated view of condition-specific performance for patients with specific conditions.

  • Look at clinical outcomes for your Diabetes patients.
  • Compare your average case weights and visits by discipline for your Wound Care patients to state, regional, and national norms.
  • Evaluate net income for your High Therapy patients and how that group can affect an agency's overall bottom line.

Clients may access their dashboards by logging into their Connection account using their unique username and password.

For those of you who are not OCS Clients, you may learn more about our OCS Disease Management Dashboard Reports, and our other dashboard reports, by contacting us at info@ocsys.com
