Success Stories

Seton Health Network

Problem
Seton Health Network, a network of hospitals and clinics in Austin, needed a way to track avoidable days, or days staying in the hospital that could have been avoided, in an effort to improve its quality of service. The system had to allow for remote data entry at the different locations and had to provide for multiple report aggregations for analysts.

Solution
Cobb Information Systems, Inc. built an Access database for Seton that duplicated paper forms that were previously used and allowed remote data to be entered from each of the clinics and hospitals in the network. The system provides several reports used by analysts and management to improve quality of care.

Technology Used
Access

Results
The application has made collection and aggregation of avoidable days information much simpler and faster.
