PeraHealth’s Rothman Index algorithm takes available information from the EHR to create a view of a patient’s condition over time.

In addition to the 16 percent decrease in mortality rate, the health system has seen a 30 percent decrease in unplanned transfers to the intensive care unit since the implementation of the Rothman Index, according to a Dec. 19 PeraHealth news release.

NorthBay replaced the Modified Early Warning System with the PeraHealth Rothman Index.
