Technology

At the core of the Outcome programs is a technology designed to work reliably in the real medical world where technical experience and web connectivity vary widely. Streamlined and intuitive, Outcome's data capture interfaces are easy to learn and simple to use. In fact, up to 200 healthcare facilities per week are routinely trained by Outcome's experienced training team.

Case report forms are constructed as "smart forms" which tightly integrate layout, edits and form control logic, and make data collection easier, faster and more accurate. Through a flexible XML-based architecture, data can be captured in a variety of ways, including web and voice inputs. The simplicity of the system makes it extremely easy to use and integrate into the workflow of the healthcare facility, not just minimizing disruption, but increasing productivity and effectiveness.

The system was the first to be designed specifically to bring real-time value to hospital and physician practices, and it does so in unique and powerful ways. Outcome's patented and patent-pending* technology, based on an Oracle database, is distinguished by its scalability, performance and reliability. Outcome is committed to being the gold standard for quality improvement technology.
