Need additional services? We can help . Quality In Healthcare Made Easier With Smart Sourcing! Measuring quality is necessary for improving healthcare. We understand that when providers are overly consumed with measuring and reporting quality metrics, it is difficult to actually apply results and focus on actions that lead to real improvements. Why not smart source all of your data abstraction needs so that it is done better, faster, more consistently, and at lower cost and with less risk? Did you know we provide abstraction services for core measures, non-core measures, registry, OPPE-FPPE, NHSN, peer review, pharmaceutical studies and others?
