Overview

Axis Clinical Software is the pioneer of electronic outcomes data management, and the steadfast industry frontrunner. The company is dedicated solely to the development of technology solutions for this select niche. It was founded by a renowned physician who wanted to track and analyze the long-term impact of then-revolutionary new procedures, but couldn’t find a suitable tool to support his needs. So he built one . . . and PATS® (Patient Analysis & Tracking System) was born. That was 1973, and the lives and livelihoods of his patients are still being followed.

Commercialized in 1980, and more than 30 years mature, PATS® is indeed a rare find among software applications. It is one of very few to have stood the test of time, lived through multiple generations of operating systems and programming languages, proven its stability, and demonstrated its capacity to embrace continuous improvement and advancement. It has been adopted across nearly every area of specialty, including cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiology, vascular medicine, orthopedics, organ transplantation, stroke medicine, oncology, pediatrics, OB/GYN, interventional radiology and trauma medicine, among many others.

The PATS® customer base spans the entire globe, encompassing not only the continental U.S., but dozens of others countries, from neighbors to the north in Canada and down under in Australia, to allies across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom and Czech Republic. It includes several hundred healthcare institutions and physician groups.

The PATS® family of users is a highly diverse group of healthcare professionals. Among them: quality analysts, data managers, researchers, biostatisticians, performance improvement coordinators, physicians, nurses, physician assistants, perfusionists, medical assistants, transplant coordinators, data entry clerks, case managers, controllers, department administrators, service line directors, CEOs, and many, many more. Although their outcomes data management goals are broad and varied, PATS® users have one thing in common: passion. PATS® users have vision, they have purpose, and they are demanding of excellence.

Axis Clinical Software helps PATS® users achieve their goals in whatever ways possible. The company employs a clinical consulting team that assists in developing the infrastructure needed to run an effective and efficient outcomes data management program, a training team that provides multiple levels of ongoing instruction and education, and a dedicated support team that responds to day-to-day inquiries, and resolves any issues or problems that may arise. The company also employs a technical projects team that tackles unique and customized requirements, such as data conversions, interface templates and complex reports.
