Improve Residency Programs with Cielo Clinic^TM

Evidence Based Guideline Delivery

Training in the delivery of care according to evidence-based guidelines is reinforced through the resident's interaction with Cielo Clinic. These guidelines serve as cairns for the resident, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of chronic disease prevention, screening, and management and the importance of providing services in a timely manner - at the point of care. Such a systematic approach is advantageous for the resident and for the practice as it both teaches the intricacies of delivering guideline-based care and ensures that the proper care is delivered.

Financial Management Training

The emphasis of resident training is in the delivery of care leaving residents inexperienced in the "business side" of medicine. Cielo Clinic provides exposure to financial management through reminders and reporting for pay for performance programs and other quality improvement initiatives. Residents gain firsthand knowledge in the importance of maximizing incentive dollars and its impact on the financial strength of the practice.

Assists Physicians in Evaluating Residents

Typically a resident's performance is monitored and assessed through chart pulls. An attending physician takes considerable time to pull and review numerous patient charts to evaluate the quality and methodology of care given by residents. Outcomes research analysis by the physician can be done efficiently through the use of Cielo Clinic's dynamic reporting functions. A physician can monitor the progress of his/her residents by quickly generating one or multiple reports to identify areas of effective delivery in care, and areas where residents may be falling short.
