Despite an aggressive regulatory push, efforts to reign in sepsis continue to fall short. For every hour sepsis goes untreated, mortality increases by about 8%. Sepsis surveillance technology makes early, accurate detection possible which is critical to saving lives and decreasing the cost of care.
POC Advisor analyzes a broad cross-section of EHR data and identifies patients at risk more than 6 hours earlier than EHR sepsis alerts, which are SIRs-based (systemic inflammatory response syndrome). Our sophisticated technology, including natural language processing (NLP) of clinical notes, accounts for more than 4,000 comorbidities resulting in 90% fewer alerts than your EHR.
POC Advisor enables real-time views of clinical components of bundle compliance, and intuitive dashboards highlight CMS quality performance metrics for your organization. Teams can drill down to view in-depth hospital performance, including care gaps and trends over time, that help identify areas to improve performance.
Whether it's through centralized monitoring or alerting at the point of care, POC Advisor reinforces your institution’s care model and sepsis workflow by delivering real-time alerts, notifications and patient-specific guidance to the right person so they can rapidly administer the right care.
Accurate, real-time identification of patients with sepsis and reliable clinical guidance are crucial to reducing care variation that lies behind poor performance. Frequently, a hospital uses its EHR's sepsis alerts to accelerate diagnosis and treatment, but these are often inaccurate and contribute to pervasive alert fatigue. POC Advisor reduces alert fatigue to improve outcomes and performance, as well as informs your care teams of clinical components and protocols in line with bundle compliance.
The POC Advisor Difference.
POC Advisor’s clinically maintained algorithms and use of AI-enabled natural language processing (NLP) detect sepsis early and accurately. By delivering intuitive alerts and notifications to the right person at the right time and at the point of care via devices or in the EHR, we help you consistently deliver evidence-based care that improves patient outcomes and reduces the cost of care.
POC Advisor can deliver alerts to a centralized monitor, mobile device (e.g. Vocera, mobile phone, pagers, etc.) or your EHR. For hospitals set up for centralized monitoring, POC Advisor Care Monitor ensures a view of the entire hospital population, active alerts, and those with known sepsis. POC Advisor’s real-time quality improvement workflow shows steps in CMS bundle compliance.
