Long-Term Patient Outcomes
The Power of Long-Term Patient Outcomes
Long-Term Patient Outcomes is built for ASCs. Questionnaires attach via preference card automation during scheduling. Patients complete them in the SIS Exchange™ portal they already use. Staff and patients alike have a seamless experience.
Structured follow-up at defined intervals can help your clinical team spot at-risk patients before a concern becomes a readmission. Better outcomes start with knowing what's happening after patients go home.
Utilize your clinical outcomes data to negotiate stronger reimbursement agreements, attract top surgeons, and demonstrate proven results. Differentiate your ASC with tangible proof of high-quality care, not just convenience and cost.
Features
Design questionnaires that reflect the clinical priorities of each specialty your ASC serves. Capture the patient-reported outcome data that is most meaningful for your case mix and most relevant to regulatory and accreditation requirements.
Define follow-up intervals that align with your clinical protocols, whether you’re tracking short-term or long-term outcomes. Cadences are configurable to support clinical, compliance, and payer-facing goals, giving your ASC more control over when and how patient follow-up occurs.
When a case is scheduled and a preference card is applied, the appropriate questionnaire is attached without any manual intervention. Your staff can focus on patient care rather than administrative setup.
Long-Term Patient Outcomes integrates directly into the SIS Complete™ workflow environment. Trackers, task management, and follow-up status are visible within the same platform your team uses every day. No more logging in and toggling back and forth between multiple systems.
Easily view follow-up data on the SIS Complete Worklist Trackers report, or export it to support your own quality initiatives and accreditation requirements. Drill down into patient responses by specialty or question, helping you spot trends in how patients are recovering.
Built natively into SIS Complete™, Long-Term Patient Outcomes eliminates the need for third-party subscriptions and interface fees that standalone platforms typically require, consolidating patient follow-up into the system your team already uses for one low monthly cost.
Post-operative follow-up is difficult for ASCs to manage consistently. By automating the process, Long-Term Patient Outcomes helps eliminate unnecessary costs and turn patient outcome data into a measurable advantage. Connect with our team to learn how this feature can work for your ASC.
"Long-Term Patient Outcomes has significantly simplified patient follow-up and outcomes monitoring for our team. The biggest win is keeping everything in one place. We used to bounce between two systems and a spreadsheet just to track follow-up; now it's all in SIS Complete, right where our documentation already lives."

CMS ASC-21 requires ASCs performing elective primary total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty to collect patient-reported outcome data both before and after the procedure. Mandatory reporting begins with the CY 2028 reporting period. Long-Term Patient Outcomes is designed to support both pre-procedure and post-procedure data collection, helping your ASC build a compliant program now, well ahead of the mandate.
