Health Catalyst launched the Patient Safety Monitor Suite: Surveillance Module, the first comprehensive patient safety application to combine data reviewed by clinician and predictive text analytics to monitor, predict and prevent threats to patient safety before harm occurs.
1. The Surveillance Module is built on the Health Catalyst Data Operating System.
2. The technology predicts harm events and triggers a response while the patient is still in the hospital.
3. "The current approach to patient safety is like doing archeology – digging through ancient safety events to identify the causes of harm, which does nothing to help with the patient in the bed right now," said Stanley Pestotnik, Health Catalyst’s vice president of patient safety products. "Unlike other approaches to using analytics within a PSO to identify and address episodes of patient harm, we monitor triggers in near real-time to reveal whether a patient is currently at risk for a safety event, so clinicians can intervene to prevent it..”
4. Along with the release of its Surveillance Module, Health Catalyst offers a variety of patient safety professional services, including safety data reviews, vulnerability assessments and consulting collaboratives.
