How will PPM Benefit my Organisation?

Increase Analysis

With PPM’s short implementation time, ease of setup and ongoing processing, you have more time to spend on analysing output rather than system maintenance. You can easily set up new patient data source systems without technical help from PowerHealth, and PPM’s scheduler automates the data processing.

Target Profitability

PPM’s detailed patient level costing and revenue data enables patient level profitability analysis, allowing the hospital to target those areas needing attention. The transparent costing setup easily tracks the source of costs, and revenue amounts can be calculated within the system or imported from outside sources.

Focus on Quality

With the focus on quality outcomes as well as costs, PPM enables you to report patient incidents using data from a patient safety and incident system, or using internally generated data such as the Classification of Hospital Acquired Diagnoses (CHADx) and Hospital Acquired Complications (HACs).

Intuitive Interface

PPM’s intuitive Windows interface with visual controls makes it easy to navigate and provides an instant view of processing progress with status indicators so that you use your time effectively. The Task Dashboard enables monitoring of individual tasks and the ability to drill-down to processing details, alerting you to changes that need your attention.
