LAUNCH: Texas Health Resources Provides Healthcare Quality Reporting

1/3/2006

FORT WORTH, TEXAS – The Enilon Group and Texas Health Resources (THR) today launched a new online application for the reporting and management of healthcare quality outcomes data. In an effort to be a leading reporter of outcomes information to the community, THR sought a way to easily display and manage data in a meaningful way to better enable consumers to make more educated healthcare decisions.

Through a newly launched section of its website at www.texashealth.org, THR now publishes quality data for each of its acute care facilities on the effective treatment of heart attack, pneumonia and congestive heart failure. The online reporting consists of easily readable graphs, covering 15 key indicators of effective treatment and is reported for each individual facility with new data updated regularly. With the dynamic graphing and reporting system developed by the Enilon Group, reports are automatically computed and graphs updated without manual updating by THR staff. This keeps the data as current as possible with minimal intervention. Site users are now able to easily see how THR hospitals stack up against not only each other, but also state and national averages.

Texas Health Resources (THR) is one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health care delivery systems in the United States. The system serves more than 6.2 million people living in 29 counties in north central Texas. In 2003, more than one in five area residents receiving in-patient care sought treatment at a THR hospital. THR was formed in 1997 with the merger of Fort Worth-based Harris Methodist Health System and Dallas-based Presbyterian Healthcare Resources. Later that year, Arlington Memorial Hospital joined the THR system. THR has 13 hospitals with 2,405 licensed hospital beds, employs more than 17,300 people and counts more than 3,200 physicians with active staff privileges at its hospitals.
