SANTA ANA, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Healthcare Holdings Inc. (IHHI) (OTCBB: IHCH), which owns and operates four hospitals in Orange County, and RGP Healthcare™, a division of Resources Global Professionals (NASDAQ: RECN), today jointly announced that IHHI is adopting Pavisse™, a cutting-edge health IT system that enhances patient safety to proactively deal with life threatening issues and compliance issues before they occur.
Pavisse, developed by RGP Healthcare, is a new comprehensive incident management solution designed to help hospitals manage patient safety, patient privacy and other compliance-related functions across the enterprise.
"Pavisse's comprehensive incident management system will help us create a safer environment for patients in our four hospitals," said Dan Brothman, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of IHHI. For example, Brothman said Pavisse can help preemptively identify gaps in patient safety practices which will allow IHHI to improve existing procedures to ensure the utmost attention is given to patient care.
Brothman also noted that Pavisse will help IHHI identify and address incidents in real time. "We have a responsibility to our patients to promptly resolve any concerns; Pavisse aids us in that area. If we are experiencing problems on the night shift with patient safety on the third floor, Pavisse will alert us to the event, analyze the root cause and allow us to take immediate corrective action with our staff to educate them and fix the problem," he said.
RGP Healthcare President Radgia Cook said, "IHHI is committed to providing the highest-quality patient care. We are excited that such a great organization has selected Pavisse to help it achieve its goals."
