Axiom Clinical Performance Measures

Axiom Decision Support with Clinical Performance Measures (CPM) helps organizations establish a comprehensive view of service line performance across financial and clinical performance measures. Reports and analytics facilitate the conversation between finance and clinical process improvement teams, highlighting opportunities where quality and cost outcomes could be improved. CPM provides an executive inpatient dashboard and multiple supporting reports.

NOTE: The Clinical Performance Measures features are only accessible if your organization has a license for Axiom CPM.
