Credentialing & Quality Management

The VIPsystem offers sophisticated ticklers, expiration reporting and mass processes that ensure verifications are completed in accordance with the national healthcare commissions. The VIPsystem truly simplifies many of the tasks and requirements set forth by the TJC, NCQA, URAC and CMS. Each screen in the VIPsystem has unlimited notes, unlimited images and unlimited data lines.

Hospital Privileges

The VIPsystem allows hospitals to manage delineated clinical privileges and provide internal online access for quick verification by clinical staff via our e-Privileges module. VIPsystem functionality allows hospitals to establish facility specific or multi-entity appropriate master table of privileges with detailed procedures and/or core descriptions. Delineated privileges are assigned to individual providers by department (service) and privilege type.  Automating the management of clinical privileges promotes simple application and renewal processing and ensures compliance with CMS and standards regulations.

The VIPsystem allows each client to design their privileges based on core or the traditional laundry list method, or a combination of both.

Quality Management

Special consideration was given to Quality management tools to simplify the collection and analysis of practitioner performance information making compliance with OPPE and FPPE standards seamless.  We provide tools that manage the Peer Review process, updates from clinical systems for fundamental quality indicators and performance data, chart and site review tools, corrective action plan management, patient and practitioner satisfaction tracking tools and unlimited possibilities for quality improvement measurement.  Each client can configure the quality measures appropriate to the services provided by their organization in accordance with TJC and CMS standards.

Managed Care tools include chart, site, and HEDIS surveys.
