MUNDELEIN - A new partnership between Medline and Health Dimensions Group will bring greater quality of care and outcomes to residents and patients nationwide.

Through the three-year prime vendor agreement, Medline will not only provide HDG facilities with cost savings on a comprehensive portfolio of products, but offer value-added programs to help achieve maximum efficiency and improved quality of care. The abaqis Quality Management System, which replicates QIS system methods and procedures to help facilities better comply with regulations, is just one solution example that can provide patient-specific care and monitor readmissions.

"That's why we are laser focused on helping our customers achieve both clinical and financial success. We are proud of the value we bring through quality management solutions and look forward to working with HDG to share insight, efficiency and expertise."

Their nationally recognized consulting firm provides solutions to hospitals, health systems, and post-acute care providers in all 50 states.
