The purpose of SMR is to gain the maximum benefit from your data with the minimum of time, training, development, and software implementation costs.
SMR appeals to Managed Care Organizations (MCO) because it enables MCOs to obtain level of service data at
the point of care from contracting organizations with a seamless and fast implementation. An MCO can
implement any point of care data collection protocol, in a matter of days, with minimal training and no
custom software development.
In return, MCOs will be able to analyze the general characteristics of
incoming patients on a daily basis, the types of service needs of those patients, the population of
outlier patients that will require resource intensive interventions, and the difference over time
for patients who have entered inpatient or residential care settings. We provide MCOs the
ability to see problems early, standardize the way they receive data on patients, and compare
contracting organizations along patient need and outcome dimensions.
Some of the MCO-specific solutions we support are:
- Uniform patient assessment campaigns
- Provider performance comparison campaigns
- Custom patient data collection efforts
- Proactive data collection to help avoid unnecessary and costly levels of service
- Real time notification on potentially costly cases
- Data partnerships between MCOs and providers to assist in optimal outcomes for both parties

SMR is built on the premise that organizations solve problems in similar ways. We try to
measure, not necessarily to get a perfect answer, but to have a better handle on how we can
approach a problem or challenge, and then design a solution...
Health Care providers face many different challenges that require them to measure
in a new way. New regulations and reporting requirements appear frequently, aimed
at decreasing the cost of care. In order to maintain margins providers have to be
more efficient in how they manage data....
One core principle of the SMR platform is that users should only
enter the data required to solve the problem at hand. We strive
to give the user the ability to achieve the maximum output, advice,
and analytics from the minimum data entry burden possible....
Readmission Rates will be a huge issue for hospitals beginning in 2012. Any readmission in less
than 30 days will result in a financial penalty to the hospital. This problem lends itself well
to a data driven approach to both monitoring and improvement. SMRs newest module initiative
Speed to implementation is perhaps our most important metric. Every implementation
is different, but our goal is to build a customized implementation of the SMR platform,
with minimal work for the user overnight. We are constantly driving towards "Instant On" benefits
from our systems.
