PATS® Statistical and Reporting Tools

PATS® offers the most robust, sophisticated and flexible set of statistical and reporting tools available for outcomes data management. The depth and breadth of features and functions are absolutely unparalleled. More importantly, these tools do not require complex technical query writing or programming. They are structured for optimum ease of use by all staff, regardless of computer or database aptitude. The Windows-based point-and-click design allows anyone to go from novice to expert in no time.

More than 30 descriptive, predictive, quantitative, qualitative, actuarial-based and risk-adjusted statistical and reporting tools are embedded in PATS®. Additionally, there is a graphics utility, ODBC utility, macro utility and image annotation utility.

Users have the ability to mine any subset of data elements, and apply criteria and parameters to any select patient population, as they wish, for rigorous analysis. Once defined, everything may be saved for future recall, and modified at any time.

Cumulative Sum    [View Sample Graphics]

Trends in series of data values for a select registry question, such as length of stay, cost of patient care, mortality, valve failures or transplant rejection, as apply to a select patient group and a select time period, using absolute sum mode (actual versus expected values), rate of events mode (with optional moving average) or continuous rate mode (rate occurrence per patient).

Individual Patient Profiling

All, or a portion of, data on a select patient, from any one or more applicable registries.

Patient Population Profiling

All, or a portion of, data on a select patient group, sorted by any demographic or registry question.

T-test Paired

Mean difference, sum of squares of differences, two-tailed P-value, and T score comparisons of responses to a select registry question, as apply to a select patient group over select time intervals (e.g., between pre-operative and post-operative visits).

Actuarial Curves

Survival, subprocedure success, event-free or cumulative incidence rate for a select patient group over a select time period, based on the Kaplan-Meier or Life Table methodology.

Survival Curve    [View Sample Graphics]

Survival rate for a select patient group over a select time period, based on the Kaplan-Meier or Life Table methodology.

Subprocedure Curve

Subprocedure success rate for a select patient group over a select time period, based on the Kaplan-Meier or Life Table methodology.

Event-Free Curve    [View Sample Graphics]

Event-free rate for a select patient group over a select time period, based on the Kaplan-Meier or Life Table methodology.

Cumulative Incidence    [View Sample Graphics]

Cumulative incidence rate for a select patient group over a select time period, based on the Kaplan-Meier or Life Table methodology.

Risk Stratification / Bayesian Predictive Modeling

Probability of certain outcomes (e.g., stroke, re-op for bleeding, prolonged ventilator use, operative mortality) for a select patient or patient group based on select (known) weighted risk factors, using the Theorem of Bayes.

ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) Curve    [View Sample Graphics]

Accuracy (validity) of predicted outcomes based on sensitivity comparisons (true positives and false positives) of responses to a select registry question, as apply to a select patient group and a select time period.

SF Health Surveys    [View Sample Graphics]

Ten scores indicating various measures of physical and mental health (quality of life) for a select patient with any one or more common chronic conditions such as asthma, congestive heart failure, diabetes, osteoarthritis or migraine headaches, or with no known medical conditions, based on the QualityMetric SF-36 scoring algorithms. {Note: Tool is optional and requires separate licensure as well as participation in royalty program. SF-12 and SF-8 derivatives also available.}
