RALS-Annual Report The 2008 RALS-Annual Report has been distributed
to more than 300 RALS-Plus users, included nearly 30
million glucose tests, and is Complimentary for RALS-Plus Users!
As a RALS-Plus user, you now have the ability to compare
your hospital’s mean glucose results to hospitals across
the country participating in the RALS-Annual Report
program. In the world of glucose management, this is
unprecedented news that can benefit your hospital
significantly. Numerous regulatory, accrediting, and
reporting agencies are moving towards linking
reimbursement to the quality of medical care.
The RALS-Annual Report will offer your hospital the
ability to demonstrate how successful it has been in the
implementation of Tight Glycemic Control protocols for
the improvement of patient care.
Data from participating RALS-Plus hospitals will be
de-identified and delivered over the Internet to MAS
servers in Charlottesville. With over 1,600 potential
RALS-Plus users participating in the RALS-Annual Report
we expect upwards of 150 million glucose values to be
reported. To the best of our knowledge, no other
benchmarking service in the country can offer this
information.
This is an opportunity to benchmark against data that is
otherwise not available at this level or magnitude. If
you really want to know where you stand, the RALS-Annual
Report will tell you.
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive an Access and
subscription agreement that must be signed by the
appropriate person within your hospital. After we get
this signed agreement, you will receive the RALS-Annual
Report every year that you remain a RALS-Plus user.
Thank you in advance for participating in this
value-added service. If you are part of a multi-hospital
system, please complete a submission form for each
institution.
