Achieving Cost Savings and Quality Improvements
"The Crimson physician performance profile tool automates the consolidation of pertinent data on physician performance from a number of
Memorial Hermann databases and presents "apples-to-apples" comparisons to local, state and national peers. It presents this data in a user friendly, intuitive,
and visually pleasing manner; the performance in quality, utilization, and compliance with evidence-based order sets is immediately apparent in the color coded
dials for each measure.
To me, one of the most powerful and important capabilities of the Crimson software is its ability to drill down within seconds to data at the individual patient
level. We have been using it in one-on-one physician reviews and we've had a tremendous impact on our utilization, with an average decrease in costs of $358 per
patient admission cared for by these physicians."

Using Physician Management to Reduce Practice Variability
"We're using Crimson to manage and review physician quality on all levels: enabling physicians to review their outcomes, equipping division leaders with their groups' aggregate and individual physician data, and including performance data in the re-credentialing process. We're using this widespread availability of Crimson profiles to align our physicians towards common quality goals and drive the reduction of practice variability across the entire system."
