The Echo Group™ and Rapid Insight™ have partnered to create the most powerful Outcomes Management Decision Support (OMDS) available to behavioral healthcare providers and payers. This tool set gives agencies the power to determine the relationship between their clinical decision-making and the resultant outcomes. Easy to understand graphic displays of this information are built from sophisticated statistical measures and probability models. - Length of stay, volume of services, medications, clinician degree and experience, and a nearly infinite number of other clinical choices and assignments are compared against agency-defined outcome results. Each is analyzed to see which treatment decisions most influence outcomes.
A built-in "What-If" component allows the user to project the result of alternative clinical choices. Such actions as changing the ratio of group to individual psychotherapy in an outpatient program or increasing the number of case management contacts with a particular group of consumers may be analyzed to determine their likely impact.
Dennis MacKay, executive director of Northern New Hampshire Mental Health and Developmental Services, says, "This will have the greatest impact on clinical decision making of any tool I have seen. This is what many of us in Behavioral Health have been waiting for from our information systems."
