How to Use Opus to Solve this Problem

Every hospital is structured differently and hospitals with multiple campuses often have difficulty reporting to internal stakeholders who are associated with only one campus. Configo works directly with hospital teams to understand each unique structure and ensure that the data we collect supports the real world reporting needs of each hospital. In Opus, Configo configures specific campus-level reports displaying outcomes like readmission, mortality, LOS and patient volumes. Hospital leaders can then send appropriate reporting to teams, whether that is at the system, campus or even unit level, all compared to internal and external benchmarks.

With Opus by Configo Health, you’re equipped with a comprehensive tool that simplifies your quality and safety performance overview, drives efficiency, improves outcomes, and ultimately advances your mission to provide the best care for children.
