SALT LAKE CITY, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Remedy Informatics, the leading provider of registries for healthcare organizations around the world, announced that Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital and Clovis Community Medical Center, both part of the Community Medical Centers network in central California, successfully deployed Remedy Obesity(TM), Remedy's innovative clinical informatics product designed to improve the delivery of care and outcomes for bariatric surgical patients.

"These two hospitals are excellent examples of patient-centric healthcare providers who are committed to continual improvement," said Gary Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Remedy Informatics. "Remedy Obesity will give both Clovis Community and Fresno Heart & Surgical a competitive advantage because of the unprecedented perspective they will gain from their data. Whether it's to benchmark therapeutic effectiveness or interrogate their data in pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries, they will have the tools to analyze and visualize as-of-yet-undetected patterns in their data. Their clinicians, researchers and administrators will derive valuable insights that will ultimately benefit their patients and the entire field of bariatrics through their novel research."

• Participate in national benchmarking programs through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS)
• Manage data assets at the enterprise level
• Aggregate, map and harmonize data from disparate sources (e.g., EHRs and clinical labs)
• Interrogate complex patient cohorts rapidly and with relative ease
• Access pre-built dashboards, reports and scorecards

• Identify statistically significant patterns and isolate outliers through visualization tools

"Our goal with deploying Remedy's bariatric surgery product is to improve our use of data to develop more effective therapies and improve outcomes for our patients," said Kelvin Higa, M.D., F.A.C.S, internationally renowned program director for minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital. "What impresses us most about Remedy Informatics' bariatric product is the pre-built, yet customizable reports and forms, and the powerful visualization tools that allow us to see and interact with our data."
