Lansdale, PA (PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- Hayes, Inc. (http://www.hayesinc.com), a leader in promoting better health outcomes through the use of evidence, is proud to announce that it has entered into a partnership to make its research available via the MedApproved software application effective July 22, 2013.

“Hayes is excited to have the opportunity to support MedApproved and its customers in their efforts to incorporate clinical evidence into the value-analysis process,” says Dee Donatelli, RN, BSN, MBA, Sr. Vice President, Provider Services, Hayes, Inc. “By using our health technology assessments, comparative-effectiveness analyses, genetic test evaluations, and other information, MedApproved clients will be able to improve value-analysis efforts, drive out wasteful costs, and reduce conflict over physician-preference items.”
MedApproved is designed to support hospitals’ efforts in evaluating new products that inundate the various product review committees. The software helps streamline a process that results in greater efficiency by creating more transparency and controlling product inflow by funneling requests through a single channel. A MedApproved client has all the tools available to support any internal review committee. Coupled with direct access to the Hayes online Knowledge Center, clients have everything they need in one place.
“Our partnership with Hayes will allow MedApproved customers to benefit from the expertise of both companies,” says Tim Hopkins, President and CEO of MedApproved. “By creating direct access to the Hayes database, our customers will easily be able to get scientific evidence of efficacy and safety without leaving the application. This integration creates fewer clicks and ultimately more value for our customers.”
