The system is embedded into the clinical workflow. When clinicians are inputting information and their assessments into the EHR, the system monitors patient information. The system will then alert clinicians if a patient meets the criteria for potential sepsis.

“With sepsis, time equals tissue,” said Bryan Bagdasian, MD, a physician informaticist at MEDITECH and a practicing hospitalist. “Early recognition is paramount; MEDITECH’s early warning system facilitates the Surviving Sepsis Campaign’s emphasis on identifying septic patients immediately and initiating treatment sooner.”
