In the realm of outcomes data management technologies, PATS® is truly in a league of its own. PATS® has been used by healthcare organizations worldwide for nearly 30 years, and Axis Clinical Software is recognized as both the pioneer and industry frontrunner of this particular niche.

PATS® is one of very few applications to have lived through multiple generations of operating systems and programming languages, proven its capacity to adopt continuous improvement and advancement . . . and survived! PATS® is without question the most powerful and sophisticated software of its kind. No other offers the flexibility, speed, scalability or depth of feature set.

PATS® provides tools for every facet of outcomes data management:

PATS® has become integral to the work performed by quality management, performance improvement, decision support, database and research departments. Data registries may be designed quickly and easily around a specific medical specialty, subspecialty, service line, patient population, disease state, research study, payor organization, government program, or the like. There are no pre-requisites. Plus, PATS® affords complete freedom to add, delete and modify data elements at any time, on the fly, to accurately reflect new or enhanced goals, pathways, protocols, procedures, techniques, medications, etc. The integrity of existing data always remains fully intact.

The versatility of PATS® helps healthcare organizations achieve a broad array of business and clinical initiatives.

With PATS®, healthcare organizations have complete, proprietary governance over all data entered to the system. Access to it is unrestricted.

The ability of PATS® to follow patients over time is absolutely unparalleled. PATS® employs a unique longitudinal tracking system to which entries can be made at any interval -- any number of days, months and/or years -- including multiple visits, procedures or interventions in a single day, by one or more caregivers. Short-term and long-term trending may be accomplished for individual patients as well as select groups of patients in aggregate.

IT departments hold PATS® in high regard not only for its problem-free track record, but also for the Caché database on which it resides. Caché, from InterSystems, is the number-one embedded database in the world, across all of commerce and industry, as well as the number-one database in general within the healthcare market, surpassing both Microsoft and Oracle. It is incredibly flexible, and operates at lightening speed.
