St. Louis-based SLUCare recently implemented Medial EarlySign’s LGI Flag in its clinical offices.
What you should know:
1. Medial EarlySign analyzes medical data and flags patients at risk for lower gastrointestinal disorders with chronic occult bleeding.
2. The machine identifies high-risk patients providers can follow-up with.
3. SLUCare Chief Medical Informatics Officers William Manard, MD, said, "The ability to identify high-risk patients sooner and intervene with them earlier enables us to help improve care and long-term survival rates. Earlier detection and treatments for lower GI disorders can also lead to improved and more manageable outcomes. This is an ideal way to use technology to deliver a higher quality of care for our patients in the greater St. Louis community."
