Why does delivering the best quality care require technology? Because only measurement provides the assurance both physicians and payers need to evaluate quality.
The key to success in building an effective quality program is less busywork and more power for physicians. The ICLOPS Registry is simple, organized, and intuitive for the physician, accessible from any location on the internet.
The ICLOPS Registry provides a means for measuring physician quality using accepted standards, but also a way for physicians to validate the results by seeing the patients, conditions, and clinical facts of the measurement. Physicians need a transparent system to make sure that their reputations are not affected by the "black box" physician quality rankings of the past. Seeing their results through the ICLOPS Registry allows them to see and act on their performance.
The ICLOPS Registry is an advanced clinical database. It is a power source for viewing and validating quality data across physicians and specialties. We help physicians see their practices with new vision, and turn that into results that make a difference to their patients and their practices. ICLOPS makes the ICLOPS Registry available with minimal work from physicians, requiring no physician input of basic patient information. Physicians see data from all patients in the practice, and a history of patient conditions and clinical facts. That's because ICLOPS pre-populates the ICLOPS Registry with a history of claims data that can be validated and modified by physicians. The benefit? No busywork, and more for physicians to see.
Physicians can see deep into their practices by using the ICLOPS Registry. Risk Registries show patients by key conditions, procedures, risk factors, or combinations; Measures show patients by eligibility for quality measure, such as Pay for Performance or PQRI. For example, physicians can view patients with surgeries who also smoke (and reported complications), or patients with diabetes and diabetes-related complications or co-morbidities. For practices collectively, comparisons of these risks across physicians and practices makes it possible to develop programs and interventions centrally to affect quality.
For PQRI and Pay for Performance, the ICLOPS Registry Dashboard shows the results of performance before the payer does, giving the physician a chance to improve before a final calculation of scores.
The ICLOPS Registry supports many quality efforts, not only measurement. ICLOPS customizes the ICLOPS Registry for physician organizations who want to undertake the sophisticated and multifaceted quality efforts — medication reconciliation, incorporation of patient-derived quality information, and identification of patients for special protocols and trials.
Physicians considering quality care technology can become confused about the difference between an electronic medical record (EMR) and the ICLOPS Registry. The ICLOPS Registry is a tool for looking at quality across patients, physicians, and practices, and for participating in collective quality efforts that underlie quality-based reimbursement. An EMR is patient-rich but its best use is for point-of-care, not analysis.

I'm interested in asking Dr. Tom Dent or Terry Hush to explain the ICLOPS Registry to my organization.
