Data mining has taken a new dimension in the area of user specific applications. One such progress in technology is the Transcript Application. Medical transcription vendor Webmedx Inc. has introduced a data mining module for its Enterprise Clinical Documentation Platform. The Quality Analytics module enables the querying of data from narrative transcription and speech-generated documents. It can automate data abstraction to meet regulatory reporting requirements, such as JCAHO core measures and Medicare audits, according to the vendor. The module also can support customized research and reporting, such as identifying patients due for preventive or follow-up care.

Why Quality Analytics?
“QualityAnalytics is particularly valuable for quality managers and HIM Directors as they identify JCAHO core measures patients and abstract data from transcribed reports,” mentions Sean Carroll, CEO, Webmedx. JCAHO core measure abstracts contain upwards of 60 data elements that must be manually abstracted by nurses and coders. The online application replaces core measures man hours with discrete data from narrative transcription and speech-generated documents.
“With QualityAnalytics I am able to identify in-house patients for review by specific diagnosis, such as heart failure or pneumonia, without wasting time doing a general search on every inpatient chart,” mentions Sondra Hess, CCS, CCDS, Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist for Alvarado Hospital, San Diego, CA.
How does it work?
The module collects words and phrases from rich, narrative, transcribed documents in the form of discrete data elements. Termed “narradat” by Webmedx, this information can then be used to create patient action lists for core measure reporting, identify RAC targets for pre-emptive reviews, and fulfill EHR content requirements.
