What We Needed

More timely

information

around patient

admits,

discharges and

ER visits

More efficient way to get that

information – the status quo

was not scalable as our

populations continue to grow

More effective way

to share that

information to

improve patient care

Scope of Alerts Rules

How often

do we need

to send

alerts?

Who needs

to get which

alerts?

Which

high-risk

patients?

How do we

get the

alerts

delivered?

Rules Logic

The Aftermath – Lessons Learned

Real-time alerts are

overwhelming.

Send fewer, but more

high-value alerts.

Specify the risk attributes to

more closely define the

population.

Make sure care

coordinators know

what to do with alerts

– modify workflow.
