A group of physicians from Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic have partnered with health IT entrepreneurs to launch a startup health IT company to sell clinical decision support tools developed by Mayo researchers and clinicians.
The new company, Ambient Clinical Analytics, focuses on IT systems for intensive care units, emergency departments and operating rooms. Its three core products include:
- Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation (AWARE): an electronic medical record app that reduces information overload by using analytics to filter relevant patient data and supporting best-care practices for ICUs and ORs.
- Mayo Clinic YES Board: a multi-patient management tool that provides real-time situational awareness for EDs and pediatric departments.
- Syndromic Surveillance: provides smart alerts that address important clinical problems such as sepsis.
"Healthcare providers need efficient and organized tools at their fingertips in order to increase patient safety. Ambient Clinical Analytics is providing the real-time bedside and ED technology to accomplish this, which in turn leaves both the provider and patient more satisfied," said Al Berning, CEO of Ambient Clinical Analytics, in a news release. "This is a unique opportunity to truly transform how patients are treated. We all desire an organized healthcare operation especially when the ED or ICU is involved. Ambient Analytics provides solutions developed by clinicians for clinicians to accomplish this."
