(formerly Bizin, Inc)
Health Metrics Systems, Inc. (HMS) is a spinoff from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) created to enhance Solutions quality improvement software developed at PAMF and to license its use outside of PAMF. By agreement with PAMF, HMS licenses the Solutions free to all safety-net clinics and similar organizations.
The use of Community Benefit funds to provide Solutions to safety-net clinics holds the promise of ameliorating disparity in healthcare access and quality. By providing Solutions support to the clinics in their areas, medical groups with IT staff can provide measurable, scalable, and cost-effective professional benefits in their communities.
