QMS has consistently developed dialysis software products in response to the changing medical environment.

Since the inception of Medicare in the 1960s, skillful regulatory compliance has been the key to financial health in the medical field. While reimbursement remains frozen, and labor, plant, and equipment costs increase, health care executives struggle to maintain profit margins.

In dialysis, successful financial management relies on reducing unproductive staff time, on controlling costs and the use of non-reimbursable items, and on maximizing reimbursement for all treatment-related activities -- all while delivering quality care.

A dialysis clinic is an information-intensive enterprise. John Sargent, president of QMS, has written and published several white papers and articles, describing the information needs -- both medical and business -- of clinics, and a strategy for selecting an application to meet those needs.
