Health information provider MEDai, Inc., US, part of STM publisher Elsevier, has announced that Sharp HealthCare, a 1700-bed, seven-facility system serving the San Diego area, has selected the company’s Pinpoint Review product. The solution is designed to alert providers to patients at risk for developing hospital acquired conditions or at risk for readmission. Pinpoint Review will provide Sharp with near-time triggers for core measures, hospital/system-wide surveillance of safety risks, physician performance reporting and forecasts of readmissions.
Pinpoint Review provides real-time predictions utilising MEDai’s superior modeling methodology to alert care providers to patients at risk for developing several of the conditions that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) no longer reimburse, called ‘never or non reimbursable events,’ which can cost hospitals millions of dollars. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations consistently encourages hospitals to deliver a higher quality of care and fewer medical errors.
Pinpoint Review is the latest addition to a suite of MEDai-developed tools, which includes Pinpoint Quality and Pinpoint Compliance. Pinpoint Quality’s retrospective analysis helps hospitals and physicians identify areas for improvement, facilitating improved performance, outcomes, patient satisfaction, efficiency and cost savings. Pinpoint Compliance provides a time-saving, Web-based solution for organizations to collect, report and submit data to the Joint Commission and other regulatory agencies, allowing hospitals to participate in accreditation, quality improvement and compliance initiatives. Pinpoint Review adds real-time decision support, including the application of alerts and predictive models to patient data while patients are still in the hospital.
