Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In view of increasing financial pressures, resource utilization management and review have become a primary focus for many healthcare organizations. Utilization strategies have been supported and enhanced by information technologies in many organizations. This paper describes the development and implementation of an on-line application for resource utilization review. Developed for use by clinicians and case managers, access to on-line utilization data has markedly influenced strategic clinical and financial decisions. Recommendations for future use and revisions are provided.
