Incorporated in 1992, the heartbase vision remains the same today: to advance patient care, safety and outcomes by providing a fully integrated patient centric clinical data repository which streamlines data collection, warehousing, analysis and interface connectivity. heartbase has evolved over the past twenty five years through collaboration between clinicians and biostatisticians from nationally recognized institutions involved in extensive cardiac research.  Undergoing the certification process, since initiation,  with the ACC, STS and TJC/CMS, heartbase is committed to developing products to enable hospitals to meet and exceed regulatory requirements. 

heartbase offers clinical outcomes data management and analysis solutions integral to expediting registry report, tracking patient information from admit to discharge, evaluating medical practices,  managing operating costs and producing quantifiable data for benchmarking, point of care process decisions and longitudinal  research.  Merging superior personalized customer service, field and screen customization and value-added reporting, heartbase enables facilities to address critical quality of care and performance improvement issues and improve outcomes.  The goal is to provide the client with a comprehensive data repository which simplifies data collection and ultimately puts the client in control of its valuable clinical data through robust and proven analytics and furthers the utilization of data to focus on improving process to bring performance in line with national standards and identify and institute best practices. 

The data model design is at the heart of heartbase, collecting and organizing information that can easily be accessed, managed and utilized.  Designed from a clinician's point of view, the heartbase solution is fluid, easy to use and complete and is the direct result of its innovative database design.  Designed longitudinally and centered on the patient, the database fuses all patient clinical data, registries and modules into a central repository.  The foundation of heartbase database design is its open, hierarchical and implied relational structure and adheres to the natural way patient data is organized in medical records.  This structure automatically links all the different record types in heartbase, creating an electronic patient medical record which is always up to date.  As a result, queries are simpler to write and less prone to error.  The design affords the end user to include customized fields, format schemas to mirror workflow, scale the software use to various hospital sizes, phase in modules to fit hospital practices and analytics can handle large volumes of clinical, financial and patient functional data with complex interrelationships.

The end result:  Advanced patient care through process and outcome improvement.
