MIDAS+ Care Management—Patient Relations
The Patient Relations module permits you to track patient complaints and commendations, attribute the concern to
a department, employee, or provider, and make immediate referrals to risk management or other related departments.
Follow-up outcomes can be logged and categorized, making reporting easier than ever.
Automate real-time notification of patient admissions with an unresolved complaint, a history of complaints, or a
poor satisfaction survey. This real-time worklist notification system allows the patient representative to
follow-up with selected patients immediately upon admission. The Patient Navigator can also be used to review past
data entries.
Features and Benefits

- Increases the reporting of complaints and commendations
- Decreases the time between the date of the complaint and notification of Patient Relations staff

- Occurrences that are not addressed within the defined follow-up time can be forwarded immediately to appropriate managers

"The University of Maryland Medical System implemented MIDAS+ in March, 1998. The Division of Clinical Quality Systems has been able to integrate work processes within and among a variety of departments and has had a tremendous impact on our productivity. With the MIDAS+ system, we were able to increase the number of quality reviews per day from 25 to 54 without adding additional staff!"
