A growing body of research suggests intelligent, prompt and patient-specific clinical decision support at the point of care may help clinicians diagnose sepsis earlier in patients, boosting the likelihood treatment will work and patients will survive.
For instance, Huntsville (Ala.) Hospital changed its management protocols and point-of-care alerting related to sepsis detection. Thus far, the changes have been associated with a sepsis mortality decrease of 53 percent and sepsis-related 30-day readmissions decrease of 30 percent.
To learn more about how hospitals can apply real-time surveillance to EHR data to detect sepsis earlier, join this webinar hosted by Becker’s Hospital Review, Wolters Kluwer and Huntsville Hospital on Wednesday, Jan. 20, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. CST.
The webinar will be hosted by Stephen Claypool, MD, medical director of the Innovation Lab at Wolters Kluwer, and Rick Corn, CIO of Huntsville Hospital.
