(OTC: ORHB), a medical software company focused on delivering case-based data analytics at the speed of surgery, today announces that it has become a Technology Affiliate of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (\"ICHOM\"), a non-profit organization focused on advancing value-based health care through the standardized measurement and reporting of patient outcomes.\n As demonstrated in a powerful customer review published by Microsoft, ORHub delivers unprecedented intelligence and insight into the volume of cases in an operating room to achieve greatly improved resource allocation, real-time monitoring of surgery, and predictive analysis.

The platform is currently being used in two hospitals in southern California, with longer-term plans for a nationwide roll-out. Three addi...
