Hospital Patient Complaint Tracking Software

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.

"Licking Memorial Hospital was one of the early adopters of MIDAS+ and has used the system since 1992. One of the most powerful features of the system is the ability to pull information from any module, and display it in one place. By using the SmarTrack Indicator reporting system, we simply print one report on each physician for Medical Staff recredentialing!"
