[Philadelphia, PA, April 8, 2024]—Tendo, a software company creating seamless healthcare experiences for patients, clinicians, and caregivers while improving quality, financial, health, and operations outcomes, announces its newest customer, the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB Health).
Located in Galveston, TX, UTMB Health is a major academic health sciences center of global influence, a world-renowned research enterprise, and a growing, comprehensive health system with hospitals on four campuses and a network of clinics. Known for its commitment to improving health by offering innovative education and training, pursuing cutting-edge research, and providing exceptional patient care, UTMB Health, through its procurement process, has chosen Tendo’s quality suite—Tendo Insights, QDI, and Dashboards—to focus on improving quality and revenue through better documentation for inpatient services.
“UTMB Health already delivers quality clinical care. Our goal in working with Tendo is to help ensure that our outcomes and performance are completely and accurately reflected in our documentation, clinical practices, and external rankings and ratings,” said Dr. Jochen Reiser, UTMB president and CEO of the UTMB Health System.
Tendo’s quality suite uses advanced analytics and AI to quickly and accurately identify opportunities for clinical documentation improvement while streamlining clinical workflows and simplifying clinician activities.
“We are excited to work with UTMB Health on this important initiative and to help showcase the strength of its outstanding clinical care,” said Dr. Bala Hota, senior vice president and chief informatics officer at Tendo. “For years, healthcare professionals have had to work with disparate, often complex, technologies to manage and document clinical encounters. Tendo’s quality suite provides a single, end-to-end solution for clinicians, CDI, and quality teams that makes prospective and retrospective patient assessment and clinical documentation easy.
