Choose Without Regrets
Choosing a partner for healthcare performance improvement services can be a stressful process. We understand. That’s why we take great care to build services and applications that will instill your confidence.
Healthcare organizations on the leading edge of patient safety and quality improvement are reinventing their approach to data by 1) identifying processes that distract from their core competency of improving patient care and instead 2) organizing more resources around producing insight from their data and, most importantly, acting on it to accelerate change.
This doesn’t mean they neglect or abandon these encumbering processes (like data collection). Rather, they’re smarter in how they solve them by leveraging a trusted partner who can empower their team to move faster with better healthcare analytics applications and time-saving services like clinical data abstraction outsourcing, enabling them to transition away from a reactive mentality to become proactive change agents.
Simply put: Our mission is to help your team “Move at the Speed of Sound Data.”
Quality healthcare services require efficient healthcare data services. Safety event data gathering can be time-consuming and error-prone, causing delayed response and remediation efforts.
Report, monitor, and analyze safety events and near misses to enhance clinical processes and curb your organization’s risk. Use our application to help your facility improve patient safety and identify key trends and patterns. All these can help reduce costs and liabilities.
Healthcare facilities often struggle to allocate clinical resources to various departments. This can lead to a bottleneck in productivity. Data abstractors, for instance, are pulled in multiple directions, collecting core measures and registry data while also trying to help with performance improvement initiatives.
ADN’s data abstraction solutions offer hospitals the ability to reallocate clinical resources to improve healthcare quality. We also prevent disruptions from staffing shortages and unplanned departures by allowing ADN to shoulder your abstraction burden. Our team can handle all of your clinical data abstraction or supplement your on-going data collection efforts to free up at least some of your team’s time for more performance improvement work.
The ADN Data Analytics team has 25+ years of experience working with large data sets and Electronic Health Records (EHR). We can aggregate and mine large data sets to identify patterns, trends and priorities within the clinical, quality, financial and patient safety domains.
Our team includes Ph.D. statisticians; SAS, R, Python, and SQL programmers; quality and patient safety experts; and data/business analysts.
Customized Patient Safety Training
To improve patient care and promote public health, healthcare organizations must invest in staff training and patient safety education.
Our team of skilled patient safety experts can provide training, such as Root Cause Analysis, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, basic Patient Safety Principles, TeamSTEPPS®, and more.
Patient Safety Initiative Project Management
Do you experience difficulty managing backlogs and filling in for departing abstractors? Need some extra help when someone unexpectedly takes time off?
Our team can help your facility execute patient safety initiatives such as facilitation for Root Cause Analysis, Failure Mode & Effects Analysis, Comprehensive Unit Safety Program and Morality Reviews and much more.
Are you struggling to keep up with the ever-evolving data reporting requirements? Use our Core Measures application to meet quality and safety standards for public disclosure and accountability. Fully comply with The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reporting requirements with our tool.
Clinical benchmarking is an essential part of healthcare quality improvement. With this platform, you can access monthly-updated clinical, quality, and financial information and benchmarks (peer and national) identify areas that are performing well, and those that merit your immediate attention and action in a few clicks. Our tools enable you to measure your performance and determine where to focus your resources for improvement.
The Performance Reporting System is a robust, customized tool that provides your hospital with a streamlined method for collecting and disseminating health data from multiple systems.
Healthcare analytics from other ADN applications and other disparate sources can also be imported. This flexible report card allows you to define and track key metrics for your organization’s success at the physician, department, and facility level.
While experts consider near misses to be unmatched predictors of medical error, research shows they are markedly underreported. This toolkit will provide you with a host of materials to run your own Good Catch Campaign.

Event reporting is essential to identifying, understanding, and addressing underlying factors and circumstances that contribute to medical errors. The insights gained from voluntarily reported incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions bring to light fractured processes that may otherwise be hidden. ADN has developed an extensive toolkit to help your facility increase event reporting so you can gain maximum visibility into opportunities to improve care outcomes.
Patients and their loved ones expect medical care they can rely on. As a High-Reliability Organization (HRO), prioritizing a safe and error-free environment builds trust between medical providers and their patients.
“With the demands for public reporting, 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.”
“ADN’s Quality Assurance Communication application has proven to be a much more superior tool than the event reporting functionality contained within our electronic medical record system. I have instant access to a multitude of reports and feel like I have a better handle on which patient safety issues we really need to be focusing on in our facilities. ADN’s QAC tool is reliable, and it simplifies the job of managing the range of events that can happen across a system.”
Facing upcoming abstractor turnover, Baptist Health Louisville leadership overcame initial reservations against clinical data abstraction outsourcing and partnered with ADN to free up staff to focus more on performance improvement, and ultimately achieved a Platinum NCDR award.
Team fulfillment, ROI, and seamless performance despite turnover are just a few of the benefits that Assistant Vice President of Quality & Patient Safety Brenda Bruneau shared are among the reasons she sees outsourcing Loma Linda University Health’s data abstraction workload is a prudent strategy.
“Frontline staff learned how to use the system very quickly. We call it the ‘Easy Button’ because it’s so easy to report an event.” – Christi Owen, Director of Quality and Risk Management, Minden Medical Center
