MC Strategies, Inc. Announces New WebInservice e-Valuator Product

New e-Valuator tool significantly simplifies the tracking and reporting of healthcare organizations' staff competencies.

Atlanta, GA, March 20, 2003 -- MC Strategies, Inc. recently announced the development of a new product, the WebInservice e-Valuator. This unique product is an addition to the WebInservice Knowledge Deployment System® (KDS) e-learning platform. The e-Valuator is an innovative management tool that enables healthcare organizations to electronically document, track and report competency and compliance evaluation data enterprise-wide.

The WebInservice e-Valuator organizes competency and compliance checklist data into streamlined, easy-to-read reports. These reports provide healthcare managers and compliance officers with a standardized way to track staff competency and department regulatory compliance -- by individual, department or facility. This new tool also creates a centralized, electronic location for checklists featuring 24/7 access. WebInservice e-Valuator offers the flexibility of documenting competencies and compliance using either a paper checklist or a hand-held PDA.

According to Kathleen Cohen, MC Strategies Director of Clinical Services Consulting, a multi-facility integrated delivery network (IDN) is successfully using e-Valuator to monitor HIPAA compliance in all 14 of its hospitals. Every department, enterprise-wide, is being assessed. Depending on the department being evaluated, the IDN has developed 11 different checklists (gap assessments) and each checklist contains from 12 to 36 questions. The IDN is using both the e-Valuator paper checklist and PDAs with wireless Internet connectivity to document department compliance status.

The WebInservice e-Valuator simplifies and expedites the periodic evaluation of staff competencies which can help preserve quality of care and ensure compliance within any healthcare organization. It also assists with the evaluation of staff on new equipment and procedures. In addition, the e-Valuator helps identify potential problems that can lead to medical errors that compromise patient safety. The new tool also significantly facilitates annual competency assessments such as those required by Joint Commission and OSHA.
