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.
