Continuous quality improvement is the key to successfully managing a hospital’s business, now and into the future. Iameter is focused on this strategic imperative.

Quality improvement is the imperative because high quality care is invariably the most cost efficient as well. But the hospital’s financial goals can only be achieved with the cooperation and active participation of the medical staff - and this is often a challenge.

Iameter’s core competencies are providing reliable clinical information and facilitating voluntary quality improvement processes with which physicians modify their practice patterns and maximize the hospital’s quality and financial performances.

Iameter is a physician-founded, health outcomes management firm with almost two decades of experience in producing data that objectively measures and improves the clinical quality and cost efficiencies of hospital performance. It was established in 1983 to objectively assess the severity of patients’ illnesses and was the first company to use coded medical records data and statistical algorithms for severity assessment in lieu of manually abstracted chart data. It was also one of the first vendors to have met the criteria for inclusion in the accreditation process and be included on The Joint Commission's list of acceptable systems.
