Online PR News -- 20-June-2012 --Polaris Health Directions continues to extend its reach across the United States and Canada to help improve the quality of health care, while reducing costs. Since 2005, 250,000 Polaris behavioral health assessments have been administered by 150 provider organizations to help them better identify and monitor patients' behavioral health.
Polaris's Web-based learning solutions provide behavioral health outcomes management and clinical decision support so that public and private sector organizations can better target interventions to a patient's specific needs and strengths. Additional system components include referral generators, online training, predictive models to assess risk for adverse outcomes and clinician messaging. Polaris systems can be easily integrated with most electronic health record systems using the HL7 and Web services interface.
Polaris developed its suite of solutions with funding from the National Institutes of Health following rigorous scientific review. Prior to commercialization, they were field-tested in collaboration with providers and expert consultants. Polaris's systems serve a range of patients, including domestic violence victims, children, adults in mental health or chemical dependency treatment, and adults being treated in primary care, emergency medicine, cardiology and oncology settings.
