Case Study: University of Utah Health Care eliminates VQI backlog with Q-Centrix

University of Utah Health Care - Customer Case Study

University of Utah Health Care, a leading academic health system, faced a significant backlog of over 40 cases for its mandatory Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry. Their staff and vascular surgeons struggled with the time-consuming data abstraction process, which prevented them from utilizing the data for quality improvement. To overcome this challenge, they partnered with Q-Centrix for its expert abstraction services.

Q-Centrix deployed a team of specialists to manage the VQI data abstraction, eliminating the case backlog within weeks. The solution reduced the surgeons' data entry time by 80-90%, allowing them to submit cases within a week of procedures. For less than half the cost of a full-time employee, Q-Centrix provided consistently high-quality data, enabling the health system to maximize the value of its VQI participation and improve clinical practices.
