Commissure

Healthcare applications development firm Commissure of New York City will showcase its RadCube Suite data mining tool for radiology and imaging departments.

RadCube Suite mines critical data to reveal any number of trends and tendencies within radiology departments, the company said. Its components include business productivity, quality assurance, utilization management, customer relationship management (CRM), educational effects, clinical research, throughput, critical communication management, financial analysis, trending and forecasting, and benchmarking, according to Commissure.

The application provides metrics on the productivity of critical resources, including individual radiologists, technologists, modalities, PACS, RIS, billing and other reporting systems. It offers quality assurance metrics, including positivity and recommendation rates for each and every radiologist and modality. It also reports on trends in referring physician ordering practices, Commissure said.

RadCube Suite, which employs Lexicon Mediated Entropy Reduction (LEXIMER) technology licensed from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, can analyze examination utilization by referring physician, modality, location, or indication, and can detail the effects of decision support on exam volume. It also provides benchmark analysis of a department compared with industry standards, the company said.
