"We use LogicStream to give us clinically meaningful ways to analyze the multiple EHR-based clinical tools we have deployed across our organization," said Dr. Jason Lyman, Associate Chief Medical Information Officer at UVA.

"We set out with the goal of managing, updating and improving the use of decision support tools in our EHR," said Rick Skinner, Chief Information and Technology Officer at UVA. "We use LogicStream to help drive adoption of evidence-based best practices and measure how the care our providers deliver is impacting clinical outcomes."

Given the multidisciplinary nature of care delivery, organizations need to put an enterprise-level focus on the entire care team versus individual clinicians.

Ultimately, this improves system-wide clinical processes which drive outcomes, patient/provider satisfaction and financial performance.

"LogicStream is the best solution available to empower operational stakeholders throughout health systems with self-service, actionable information to improve care delivery. Our Clinical Process Improvement solutions drive adoption of standardized processes and allow clinicians to tie care delivery to clinical outcomes," said Patrick Yoder, LogicStream CEO. "LogicStream provides the framework for scalable quality improvement throughout the enterprise. Clinical Process Improvement increases clinician satisfaction with the EHR by presenting the right information to the right person at the right time."
