Change Healthcare unveiled InterQual 2017 in early April, reflecting the latest version of the clinical decision support tool.
The update features a time-saving new product, Medicare Procedures powered by InterQual®, and a more efficient set of criteria, review, and other features that help boost decision-making, executives said.
“InterQual 2017 identifies the essence of what is needed to foster faster, safer, and better clinical decisions,” said Jackie Mitus, MD, General Manager & SVP, Decision Management, of Change Healthcare. “This year we’re bringing more clinical intelligence, more automation, and more know-how to the forefront, all so the clinician can devote more time to direct patient care. That’s at the heart of what we do.”
