SecondStory Health provides your organization with a RATIONAL RESPONSE to the problem of Adverse Event Reporting and Management.

We design and deliver effective software and strategies to discover the hidden but very real causes and costs of healthcare-related adverse events (medication errors, adverse drug reactions, medical errors) and make the needed improvements. Using a customer-focused strategy, SecondStory allows clients to continuously identify, document and improve the safety of healthcare systems. Our clinical and management consulting services link you to a full range of advisory, analytical and database management services, customized to meet the intensity of your needs.

Our PQA-PaLS™ (Pharmacy Quality Assurance-Program and Learning System) tool kit for community pharmacy is an affordable and easy to use resource to help comply with state-level QA regulations and QA requirements in Medicare Part D. NEW interactive online version coming this Winter '08.
