NDC Health Information Services is First to Provide Anesthesiology Data Warehousing on The Web
ACTION ITEMS

NDC Health Information Services announced the first web-based data warehousing service for anesthesiologists. Anesthesiologists can now go on the Internet to instantly access and perform broad-based analyses of their billing and diagnostic data after supplying their data to NDC for warehousing.

System 2000 Data Warehousing provides immediate, accurate information that enables anesthesiologists to answer high-level business questions and determine if their practice is on track financially. Each physician within the group can request any information that has been built into the data warehouse from any location at any time. Armed with these analyses, anesthesiologists can manage their practice more effectively and profitably. For example, anesthesiologists can instantly access patient data to help ensure high-quality patient care.

"Today, health care providers must make increasingly complex business decisions in order to maintain their market share, defend pricing and survive risk-based contracting," remarked Tony Mira, head of NDC Health Information Services' Anesthesia Group. "System 2000 Data Warehousing gives them the timely information they need to make effective decisions and stay competitive."

NDC Health Information Services has an extensive track record of bringing current, analytical data to the business of health care. Using System 2000 Data Warehousing, along with NDC's billing and reimbursement services, enables anesthesiologists to manage their practices more efficiently. The time saved on administrative functions can be spent caring for patients.
