Capio implements Stalis’ Assure.net

Capio has implemented a RIMS system based on the Assure.net product supplied by Stalis at each of its 22 acute hospitals in the UK.  The new RIMS system will enable Capio to track, measure and compare the clinical performance of individual hospitals and practitioners. 

Ms Jane Cameron, director of quality for Capio said: “RIMS will allow Capio to track and measure its performance, hospital by hospital and practitioner by practitioner as regards a range of key performance indicators and trends, as well as incidents, accidents and complaints.”

She said that the information provided by benchmarking services will better enable managers and clinicians to plan, implement and evaluate service improvements. 

“We needed to have the appropriate IT support for monitoring and reporting on our clinical performance and selected Stalis because of their commitment to the healthcare market and experience with both the public and private sectors,” said Cameron.

Christine Whitehouse, Stalis’ managing director commented: “We are naturally pleased that the project has achieved the status it has and is a success.  Although we had worked closely with Capio to satisfy requirements, the product is a standard designed to support any size and complexity of hospital organisation.”

Capio Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading independent providers of hospital services with 21 acute units throughout the country.  It also provides specialist psychiatric care through Florence Nightingale hospitals.

Capio has also recently been awarded ‘preferred bidder’ status by the Department of Health for the largest new contract in the new independent sector treatment centres programme.
