Catalyst is dedicated to excellence, and it shows. Not content to rest on our achievements, we continue to seek new ways to improve our products and services.

Why is EVALISYS® better than other patient classification systems?

First, EVALISYS Patient Classification System:

• Is based on a professional judgment model, and is not task-based
• Captures care complexity
• Is a flexible format that can be computerized or used manually
• Is easy to use — the simplest format available
• Is designed for enterprise-wide, multidisciplinary use
• Complies with California’s Title XXII requirements
• Is readily adaptable to staffing ratios
• Is cost-effective because of low maintenance over time

Second, EVALISYS Patient Classification/Staff Activitiy Study®:

• Is the only process that incorporates a comprehensive, objective study of staff utilization and workload
• Takes advantage of the largest national database of its type on nursing and other clinical disciplines
• Involves training of in-house coordinators to replicate the Study
• Evaluates the actual workload rather than using preset standards
• Assesses staff utilization patterns to identify systems inefficiencies
• Addresses both the cost and quality of care
• Has a proven record of success
• Works with any patient classification system
• Demonstrates an average return on investment of 13:1

Third, EVALISYS PCS Staffing Matrix™ methodology:

• Is the only population-based staffing model
• Is flexible, yet reality-based
• Is budget-related
• Is easy to understand
• Interfaces with ANSOS One-Staff®

In short, Catalyst is the only company that offers a flexible, enterprise-wide, multidisciplinary PCS with benchmarked comparisons to your own data.
