TROY, Mich., Oct. 19, 2005 -- iDashboards (www.iDashboards.com) has developed healthcare solutions that provide physician practice and hospital facility performance scorecards for visibility of key performance indicators (KPIs). The flash based dashboard from iViz Group helps companies provide their information users with visually rich, responsive, and personalized Business Intelligence dashboards to analyze, track, and drill-down through a wealth of information.

Nemours (Jacksonville, Fla.), one of the nation's largest children's health systems, owns and operates the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., as well as four major children's specialty centers in Florida. Nemours sought a method for each of its more than 440 physicians to monitor his or her performance across different evaluation criteria. Scores were based on nearly 887,000 patients' feedback. With iDashboards, hospital administrators and physicians can now easily monitor their department performances through charts and scorecards.

Nemours' Chief Knowledge, Quality and Safety Officer, Stephen T. Lawless, MD, MBA, has sponsored the introduction of dashboards for Nemours. From his perspective, "Dashboards are not just a way of displaying data. We are using dashboard as another strong communication tool to let our associates know, in a seamless manner, that their efforts are making a difference. Being able to accomplish this without excessive internal resource requirements is a key asset."

iDashboards has also been implemented in the largest integrated healthcare organization for specialized complex care services in Canada. One of the largest facilities of its kind, the hospital has 504 beds. Hospital administrators required a real-time solution to effectively monitor patient volume, average stay length, and service speed. The iDashboards Professional Services team integrated iDashboards into a Novell exteNd portal solution. iDashboards now empowers hospital administrators to quickly view their unit performance and variance trends over time. By pinpointing under-utilization of hospital resources, iDashboards helps administrators make strategic decision to maximize facility ROI.
