Core Measures Data Abstraction

Our Core Measures Abstraction Service can help your hospital meet the data collection and reporting requirements of The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We will work directly with your facility to provide a solution that fits your needs – whether it's on site, off site, on call, or partial outsourcing. Plus, it is not necessary to use ADN’s data collection tool; our experienced abstraction specialists will work with whatever Core Measures vendor you use.

As a vendor since the inception of Core Measures, ADN has developed a keen understanding of the measure specifications, transmission processes, and improvement initiatives associated with data collection and analytics. In addition, ADN can train your abstractors on the changes to the measure guidelines and conduct follow-up Inter Rater Reliability assessments to ensure their understanding.

Our data abstraction services allow your hospital to reallocate scarce clinical resources to performance improvement, utilization review and case management. Or, use ADN personnel to complement your existing data abstraction staff to provide coverage for employees on temporary leave or to serve as a safety net for abstractor shortages or unplanned employee departures.

What Clients Think...

Marilyn Joy
Manager, Performance Improvement
Mount Sinai Medical Center

"As the demands for public reporting grew, we turned to American Data Network to assist with the burden of data collection. They had the experience and know-how to take on all of our Core Measures responsibilities. Outsourcing our Core Measures abstractions has freed up our staff, allowing them to concentrate on focused clinical areas and their respective registries such as the Stroke, ICD, and Carotid stents. We are now able to spend more time on using the data to improve the quality of patient care at Mt. Sinai."
