YOUR GO-TO INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE FOR THE SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

Wolters Kluwer, a global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, has announced that POC Advisor™, its real-time clinical surveillance and analytics platform, will integrate the Natural Language Processing (NLP) solution from Hiteks Solutions, Inc. for inclusion of structured and unstructured documentation to make them immediately actionable. This enables real-time analysis of physician notes for infection sources, chronic comorbidities and other clues to the presence of sepsis. Doing so improves the efficacy of sepsis alerts and patient-specific treatment advice POC Advisor delivers to clinicians at the point of care.

POC Advisor aggregates, normalises and analyses patient data from disparate clinical systems to deliver timely and accurate sepsis alerts and advice. Hundreds of rules built into the platform account for possible comorbidities and medication abnormalities, and trigger alerts that have demonstrated unprecedented levels of sensitivity (95%) and specificity (82%) as published in a peer-reviewed study in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA). That study also found that POC Advisor reduced sepsis mortality and sepsis-related 30-day readmissions by 53% and 30%, respectively.

The power of the combined platforms derives from Hiteks' quality and reimbursement-focused NLP, initially leveraged for sepsis, along with POC Advisor's highly accurate prescriptive analytics, to improve and accelerate diagnosis. Health systems and providers also benefit from strengthened clinical documentation improvement (CDI) and core measures abstracting functionality, which reduces the resources required to exceed the 75 percent core measures threshold and improves specificity of ICD-10 claims codes, optimising revenue cycle.
