CitiusTech announced the launch of BI-Clinical MUSE - an enhanced version of its healthcare business intelligence framework - BI-Clinical - for "Meaningful Use" Analytics & Reporting compliance.

The BI-Clinical framework provides an integrated approach for clinical, operational, financial and regulatory performance management in healthcare for hospitals, physician practices and managed care organizations - covering over 600 measures. BI-Clinical hospital module includes acute care reporting (e.g., AMI, pneumonia and stroke) and measures for CMS, JCAHO, P4P, and NCQA. Similarly, BI-Clinical physician practice module includes registry-based reporting for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, CAD as well as measures for PQRI and DOQ-IT.

The recent "meaningful use" requirements published by HHS mandate clinical quality reporting measures for hospitals and physician practices. CitiusTech has customized the BI-Clinical framework for "meaningful use" - BI-Clinical MUSE - to cover all reporting requirements for hospitals (443 measures in 2011) and physician practices (90 measures in 2011). BI-Clinical MUSE also supports public health data submission.

"The meaningful use guidelines impose significant technology & reporting requirements for healthcare ISVs and care providers" said Bimal R. Naik, Senior Vice President at CitiusTech. "BI-Clinical MUSE is designed as a modular framework which can be bundled with EHR s and other clinical applications. Microsoft's Business Intelligence stack provides a highly flexible and scalable deployment platform for BI-Clinical."

"Hospitals and health organizations are faced with an abundance of quality measures that they must report on," said Chris Sullivan, U.S. health provider industry solutions director, Microsoft. "CitiusTech 's BI-Clinical framework, based on the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform, helps healthcare organizations with this quality measures reporting."
