FAST – Financial Analysis & Statistical Trends
The FAST System Web site collects information used solely by NJHA in the production of its quarterly Financial Analysis & Statistical Trends ("FAST") report.
The FAST report provides hospital executives as well as NJHA’s Board of Trustees with a quarterly analysis of comparative financial and operational indicators, and serves as a valuable financial management and NJHA policy formation tool.
HRET Data Reporter
HRET is providing its Data Reporter service electronically to our Data Reporter client hospitals. This service is provided to assist in the verification of the accuracy and reliability of the data submitted to the state through the Data Intermediary in accordance with N.J.A.C. 8:31B-2.5. Access to the Data Reporter service is limited to authorized contacts only. The information is transmitted using SSL technology making the service HIPAA compliant.
HRET Garden State Patient Safety Center
The HRET Garden State Patient Safety Center for Assisted Living is used to collect and analyze data on clinical performance measures to support quality improvement efforts.
NJHA Chapter 160
NJHA's Chapter 160 System satisfies hospitals' annual cost-report submission requirement by enabling hospitals to enter its financial data into NJHA's secure web-based application. The data is configured into a N.J. Department of Health-approved format and transmitted by NJHA to the state.
By using the Chapter 160 System hospitals are providing NJHA with access to the data within these cost reports for additional purposes beyond the scope of Chapter 160. This allows NJHA to provide its members with up-to-date financial reports such as the Hospital Performance Benchmark Report and other ad-hoc analyses that may occur as a result of proposed state legislative or regulatory changes.
NJHA PPE, Supply & Capacity
The NJHA PPE, Supply & Capacity Portal is a collaborative effort between the state Office of Emergency Management, state Department of Health and NJHA to better manage PPE supply to protect our healthcare workers in the COVID-19 response.
NJPQC Data Portal
This data portal is provided to assist with data collection for the N.J. Perinatal Quality Collaborative, a multi-year CDC funded initiative. It is a statewide partnership of committed stakeholders working together to improve the quality and safety of care provided to New Jersey’s mothers and babies.
Participants are able to trend the hospital’s performance against statewide performance (hospitals cannot view each other’s data) while at the same time use the information as a launching point for their own quality improvement initiatives.
Opioid Reductions Options (ORO)
Opioid Reductions Options (ORO) in the Emergency Department project is an innovative primary prevention program designed with two goals in mind:
- To decrease the amount of avoidable opioids prescribed to patients seen in an Emergency Department
- To develop the supportive infrastructure to ensure those prescribed opioids have close follow up with practitioners versed in evidence-based methods
These goals are both qualitative and quantifiable, and this portal is designed to facilitate reporting requirements to monitor program results.
Princeton Claims Management
Protecting healthcare organizations from excessive unemployment costs is Princeton Claims Management's forte — they've conclusively won nine out of every 10 unemployment claims hearings for New Jersey hospitals for more than a decade. PCM's dedicated professionals have comprehensive knowledge of the healthcare industry and unemployment law and directly maintain unemployment forms for many of New Jersey's hospitals, provide expert representation at unemployment hearings and skillfully negotiate through the many obstacles that can arise along the way.
Serious Safety Event Reporting (High Reliability Collaborative)
HRET Serious Safety Event Reporting (High Reliability Collaborative) collects all "serious safety events (SSER)" and "Patient days" data monthly to automatically create an "Average of serious safety events per 10,000 adjusted patient days" report.
Severe Sepsis Reports
The sepsis mortality reports contain a breakdown of the raw data, compared to the statewide aggregate. The report also includes a further breakdown of the mortality data by race, ethnicity, gender, age and payer type. The reports contain trending charts which show variations in sepsis mortality rates over time.
In addition to the mortality reports, hospital members may also download comparative mortality reports, comparing their quarterly rate with other NJ hospitals.
All reports include cases for patients 18 years and older. The data used to calculate these reports is from the New Jersey Discharge Data Collection System, which is populated from each hospital’s own administrative discharge coding data.

Since 2005, VeCred Enhanced has helped providers automate the verification process, save time and perform thousands of look-ups in a matter of minutes, eliminating human error.
