Company > News > Web-based Outcomes Benchmarking Company Press Release Orion Software Development Releases Web-based Tool for Outcomes Benchmarking Further Building on Vision of Integrating Outcomes into the Clinical Routine Santa Clara, California, — May 9, 2001 — Orion Software Development, a leading provider of medical outcome software solutions, today announced that it has released a web-based application for outcomes benchmarking. Registered users of the Outcome Data Management System will be given free access to this tool. To date, Orion Software Development has provided tools to state societies at no charge by which they could receive electronic data from their members and perform benchmarking. Results where returned via e-mail or paper reports. This new offering allows end users to generate their own customized benchmarking reports online based on their own desired parameters at a state, regional or national level. While patient privacy is a growing concern, the tool utilizes anonymous patient data to ensure maximum patient privacy. Orion Software Development is committed to providing tools, which comply with patient privacy standards, such as the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA). "The ability to measure standardized outcomes at the clinic and then move that information into a nationally available database is extremely powerful", said Steven Jungbauer, President of ISCVPR and member of the AACVPR outcome committee. "The availability of program level, as well as patient level, data allows us to analyze outcome data to discover how specific interventions in rehabilitation affect patients with cardiac and pulmonary disease. Orion is showing great support for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation by making this tool available as part of its standard product offering." "This is a natural extension of our product line. You can use the Outcome Data Management System and the power of your personal computer at your facility to collect and analyze patient data and then go online to perform benchmarking," said Brandon Fuller, president of Orion Software Development. "This new addition allows our customers to further leverage their investment in our technology by bringing the power of outcomes benchmarking to their desktop." Availability The Outcome Data Management System is immediately available at a low cost directly from Orion Software Development or through distribution partners, such as Quinton Instrument and Life Sensing Instrument.
