Hospitals today face increasing pressure to improve clinical quality and comply with government mandates while also working to reduce treatment costs. Clinical surveillance helps hospitals address these challenges by automatically identifying 'high-risk' patients in need of immediate intervention and notifying the appropriate clinician to intervene promptly before the patient's condition deteriorates. And since a single clinical surveillance system can be used by multiple clinicians – quality managers, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, case managers, infection control specialists – it provides a common platform on which any hospital can build its quality improvement program. Join this presentation to learn how Clinical Xpert CareFocus – a clinical surveillance solution from Thomson Reuters – is helping hospitals reduce mortality, improve outcomes and reduce treatment costs.
During this presentation you will learn how clinical surveillance has:
- Improved hospitals' quality of care by identifying high-risk patients and reducing 'never events'
- Helped one hospital decrease mortality by 15% and decrease ICU mortality for sepsis patients by 43%.
- Enabled another hospital to save $39,000 per month in treatment costs – totaling more than $1M to-date
