Zynx Health and Solucient Sign Strategic Partnership
Los Angeles, CA —
February 9, 2006 —
Zynx Health Incorporated and Solucient have partnered to integrate Zynx evidence-based decision support into Solucient's ACTION O-I® operational benchmarking
and performance improvement program.
ACTION O-I contains the largest financial and operational comparative database
in the industry with data from more than 850 healthcare organizations across
the country. The partnership will complement ACTION O-I's quantitative data
by integrating qualitative content from Zynx entitled "Evidence-Based Information
for Operational Improvement."
The Zynx operational improvement database incorporates more than 150 evidence
summaries in 16 content areas, such as surgical services, case management
and food services, from operationally-oriented, both peer-reviewed and non-peer
reviewed literature. The evidence summaries highlight strategies for healthcare
institutions and management personnel to improve operational efficiency,
effectiveness and financial performance.
"This new evidence-based information from Zynx complements the quantitative,
comparative information currently available in ACTION O-I," says Greg Geracie,
vice president, product management for Solucient. "Clients will gain a vital
resource enabling them to combine evidence with data to help stimulate new
operational initiatives and drive results."
"We are excited to work with Solucient to provide evidence-based operational
improvement information," says Gregory Dorn, M.D., M.P.H., vice president
and general manager for Zynx. "Solucient is a recognized leader in comparative
healthcare business intelligence and providing tools to evaluate and improve
provider performance. Through our partnership with Solucient, Zynx can use
our experience and success in health services research and evidence-based
decision support to address operational aspects of healthcare."
