Transforming Data to Improve Care

“CINA has been a fantastic tool to allow us to stay on top of delivering quality, appropriate care to our patients. Easy to use, comprehensive and customizable.”

“CINA has provided three important things to my practice.  First, it allows us to pull information together from nearly anywhere in the chart bringing the patients history together in a very user friendly way without requiring cumbersome, redundant data entry.  Second, it encourages me to address health maintenance at every encounter with the patient and finally it pushes me to push my patients to the optimal control of their chronic conditions based on evidence based guidelines.”

“The CINA patient recommendation report helps primary care physicians do a better job. For the first time since we have been using the EMR, the [EMR] system is finally giving something back to the physician.”

“The CINA point-of-care reports have become the focus of our morning huddles. With this tool we make sure that our patients receive the care supported by evidenced-based guidelines. We have been able to generate additional revenue while also improving our chronic care and preventive care management.”

“A patient recently came in with a chief complaint of an earache. Using the CINA patient recommendation report I realized that although she had been in for many acute visits, she had not been seen for a health maintenance visit in over two years. The CINA report allowed me to review all of her health maintenance needs quickly and efficiently. Without this report, the visit could easily have taken 45 minutes or, worse yet these issues would have continued to go unaddressed.”

“CINA has introduced to us a terrific opportunity to examine our own guideline adherence by providing our physicians with a tool--a single sheet of paper  presented at the time of the patient encounter--which summarizes the data and provides patient-specific reminders concerning areas of missing intention to follow our own guidelines.  The cost of this quality support is more than met by the advantages which CINA brings to us as a certified PQRI registry, whereby use of the same data mining techniques support our PQRI data submission process.”

Transforming Data to Improve Revenue

“With Medicare representing a significant portion of our patient population and revenue stream, we were interested in the possibility of participating in the CMS Pay-for-Reporting (PQRI) program. Using CINA’s tools we expect to receive the full 1.5% bonus for 2007, which for us accounts for about $100,000, and anticipate seeing this number double in 2008 with a full year of reporting. The best part is that the entire reporting process requires no additional effort on the part of physicians.”

“In the year since the CINA Protocol Engine has been fully installed in our practice, we have seen our per visit revenue increase by an average of $8 / visit. This translates to an overall increase of 7% to our bottom line revenue. After ruling out everything else, the only factor that we can attribute this to is the use of the CINA point-of-care reports by our providers which prompts them to do the things they should be doing anyway and which are billable sources of revenue.”

Transforming EMR Data to Support Clinical Research

“CINA's ability to locate and standardize clinical data across multiple electronic medical records will open opportunities in practice based research that many of us have been dreaming about for the past decade. Practice-based research will be revolutionized by this technology.”
