SIS offers a surgical scheduling system endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA), and a rules-based charging system that has been granted Peer Reviewed status by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).
The AQI was created by the American Society of Anesthesiologists to be the primary source for quality management in the anesthesiology profession through the creation of the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR).
AQI collects and aggregates electronic data from anesthesia practices and benchmarks it, helping survey participants better understand and assess their clinical outcomes and business processes.
Currently, the AQI is gathering data on 400 facilities and 2600 providers throughout the US.
AQI executive director Richard Dutton said the support from SIS will open new doors for anesthesia providers to deliver data in an easier and more efficient way.
SIS Anesthesia clients will receive feedback and data through the AQI that will yield invaluable benefits to their hospitals and practices," Dutton said.
Coast Anesthesia Medical Group president Christine Doyle said collaborating with AQI and SIS, their group will be able to use the data for departmental quality improvements as well as personal benchmarking and performance improvements.
