Kyruus Products Enable Accurate Reporting through Big Data Approach

BOSTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Kyruus, Inc., a physician network optimization company announced today that its conflict of interest management solutions have been exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA). AHA Solutions awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence. Kyruus will work closely with the AHA to help these organizations and their physicians manage the regulatory burden and PR risk associated with increased health care transparency.

“Kyruus Passport allows us to engage our staff and affiliated physicians to capture significant financial relationships and manage them in a proactive, collaborative manner. We are now automating the process of approving, monitoring and tracking industry interactions to better manage risk for both the institution and our doctors.”

AHA’s Commitment to Innovation in Serving Hospitals

“The increasing importance of COI management was initially raised at a meeting of our Chief Compliance Officer Roundtable, which is made up of compliance officers from leading health systems across the country,” said Anthony J. Burke, CEO of AHA Solutions, Inc. “After exploring this topic with our member organizations and evaluating the various solutions on the market today, we felt Kyruus represented the best solution for providing both the data collection as well as the physician engagement workflow tools essential for effective COI management,” noted Michael Albion, Assistant Vice President for Strategic Alliances at AHA Solutions.

Partnering with Hospitals and Physicians to Improve Conflict of Interest Management

Regulation, corporate integrity agreements and professional codes of conduct are driving the need for greater collaboration between hospital administrators and physicians, and Kyruus’ solutions meet these market demands. “Kyruus provides our office with up-to-date, actionable information that is critical for meeting today’s compliance needs,” said David Blake, Chief Compliance Officer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "Kyruus Passport allows us to engage our staff and affiliated physicians to capture significant financial relationships and manage them in a proactive, collaborative manner. We are now automating the process of approving, monitoring and tracking industry interactions to better manage risk for both the institution and our doctors.”

With the AHA Endorsement, Kyruus will continue to expand a growing number of clients that includes leading academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, integrated community care organizations and health care systems. “Kyruus is honored to receive the distinguished AHA Endorsement for our conflict of interest management solutions,” said Graham Gardner, CEO of Kyruus. “We are deeply committed to helping physicians and hospitals optimize the ways in which they engage with the health care community. While many of these relationships are essential for driving innovation in healthcare, a comprehensive reporting and tracking system is required to protect physicians and institutions from the PR, financial, and regulatory risk that has been exposed given the explosion of information in the public domain.”
