The Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) Health Information Summit is an opportunity to connect with leaders who are shaping the future of health information management. At Beamtree, we believe that better data leads to better care – and that better has no limit.
A central part of this is PICQ®, a solution designed to give hospitals real-time visibility of their coding accuracy. PICQ compares coded episodes against a comprehensive set of coding indicators, highlighting discrepancies and opportunities for improvement. By turning coded data into insight, PICQ helps health services strengthen their assurance processes and improve both financial outcomes and documentation quality.
PICQ is used in hospitals around the world, helping health information teams embed quality into their daily work. For coders, it provides continuous, actionable feedback that supports training and education, reinforcing coding standards and builds confidence in their outputs. For coding managers, it enables performance monitoring across individuals and teams, helping identify training needs and support targeted quality improvement. For executives, it offers assurance over data quality, which underpins funding allocation, benchmarking, and strategic decision-making.
Quality-coded data is critical to every health system. It drives fair and transparent resource allocation, supports clinician engagement, and ensures data used for research, reporting, and funding is both accurate and meaningful. By reducing unwarranted variation and preventing errors, PICQ not only safeguards revenue integrity but also strengthens the foundation on which health information leaders can build future innovation.
At CHIMA 2025, Beamtree will highlight how PICQ is enabling health services in Canada as well as internationally to continually improve coding quality. By embedding assurance into everyday processes, PICQ empowers health services to take proactive steps in lifting data quality.
As healthcare continues to evolve, accurate and trusted data will remain the cornerstone of performance improvement. PICQ provides the confidence and clarity needed to ensure health information management plays a leading role in driving better outcomes for patients, staff, and systems alike.
