Mission Health in Asheville, N.C., selected PeraHealth's predictive analytics to help nurses and physicians better detect subtle but serious patient health issues.
Here are five takeaways:
1. PeraHealth provides hospitals and health systems with a single solution for real-time clinical surveillance across all patient populations and care settings.
2. Mission Health will integrate PeraHealth's suite of clinical surveillance solutions into its existing enterprise data warehouse and its Cerner EMR system, helping care teams visualize a full picture of patient condition.
3. The software will be used at the 763-bed Mission Hospital to remotely monitor patients and support bed management across the health system's five other hospitals located throughout western North Carolina.
4. Powered by the Rothman Index, a disease-agnostic measure of patient condition used to predict patient readmission and mortality risk, PeraHealth software pulls data from all major EMR systems.
5. Clinicians also use PeraHealth solutions to:
- Help determine when to discharge patients
- Prioritize patient bedside visits and nursing assignments
- Improve documentation accuracy and timeliness
- Optimize ICU bed use
- Identify opportunities for palliative care consults
