Years in the making, the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation (DFWHC Foundation) has developed and launched the Regional Enterprise Master Patient Index (REMPI). REMPI allows for the tracking of regional readmissions among participating hospitals.
This innovative service was two years in development and uses QuadraMed software. Participating hospitals will now be able to trend regional readmission patterns, emergency room visits and other patient/hospital encounters across hospitals and systems.
The service provides evaluation of patient readmission patterns across the region, regardless of which hospital is accessed by a patient. Using the proprietary matching algorithm, 7,364,432 inpatient records admitted from 2003 - 2008 have been processed and made available for patient safety and quality analysis by participating hospitals of the DFWHC Foundation Information and Quality Services Center [formerly the Data Initiative].
Companies interested in research projects and hospitals interested in learning more about participating in the Information and Quality Services Center should contact the DFWHC Foundation at 972.719.4900 or email foundation-information@dfwhc.org.
