Resolv drives Results




Problem

A 300 bed hospital with a series of outpatient clinics lacked an integrated and automated system to track and analyze their patient complaints and compliments but instead used a paper-based comment management system. With the current systems in place, the Administrative Director of Customer Service had little control over the complaint process and no management tools to improve the hospital's performance.

Our Solution

The client's team implemented, Resolv, an integrated and automated comment management system. Resolv captured comment data in real-time from patient comments, letters, phone calls, and comment cards. With Resolv, the comments were logged, categorized, and immediately distributed to key personnel for action via the hospital's internal email system. The system not only tracked comment history for regulatory compliance but sent trigger emails on risk management related complaints. With patient comments entered and categorized, data mining for trending and managerial tools was accessible at the push of a button.

Results

Within three months after the hospital implemented the new system, the hospital was able to see impressive results and benefits. More effectively capturing comments from letters, phone calls, and comment cards, the system increased the data capture and tracking by 80%. Resolv provided an immediate system of accountability with respect to department managers. Because of the time saved with automated reports and letters, the hospital was able to redistribute four of six patient advocates out to the floor to improve the patient experience, rather than entering data in the office. The customer service department increased work-force efficiency by 67%.

Since implementation of Resolv, the hospital has been named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals® three times. The 100 Top Hospitals award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. This hospital also received the HealthGrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ for 2009-2010, and National Leader in Patient Satisfaction Award from Press Ganey, Inc. Survey, 2003-2007.
