"ReadyPoint provides us with some great extended functionality above and beyond just a survey tool," said Robin Betts, assistant vice president of Intermountain's quality & patient safety, who led the initiative. "The continuous process improvement goals we establish must comply with regulatory standards and working with ReadyPoint streamlines how we meet these goals."

ReadyPoint's software can create corrective actions for any clinical process improvement, including "surveys on the fly," and monitor adoption with real-time reporting. Intermountain's providers can also analyze data from a centralized perspective to report trends and improvement opportunities, said Betts.
