Elsevier, the global information analytics business specializing in science and health, and part of RELX Group, has announced that the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), an international center of excellence in child healthcare, has implemented its Clinical Pathways solution, Arezzo. GOSH is using Arezzo to reduce the time doctors and nurses spend on paper-based administrative tasks, thereby allowing them more time to focus on helping patients.
The implementation of Arezzo at GOSH is helping doctors and nurses make smarter care decisions. Arezzo takes medical guidelines, protocols, and order sets, combines them with relevant patient information and presents personalised patient pathways and testing advice to clinicians. The result is an efficient process from the decision-to-admit, to the decision-to-treat based on the results of the investigations performed.
A second valuable contribution Arezzo provides is reducing resource wastage and saving budget. Waste, such as ordering unnecessary tests, is estimated to account for 30 percent of healthcare spend. By reducing unnecessary procedures, Arezzo will help GOSH improve its efficiency at a time when the UK's National Health Service (NHS) is under pressure to identify inefficiencies.
Elsevier and GOSH, an NHS Foundation Trust hospital, are working towards expanding the current implementation of Arezzo as part of the Trust's new electronic patient record system rollout, potentially enabling the system to consume much richer data sets, which in turn will allow GOSH to fully realize Arezzo's decision support capabilities.
