CareFocus Reduces Mortality by 31%. Learn How.

What if a post-op patient in the ICU who is at-risk for DVT didn't have an order for DVT prophylaxis? How would you know about it? Would you be able to find her in time to give the necessary treatment and prevent an adverse event?

CareFocus is a clinical surveillance solution that makes it easier for clinicians to quickly identify, locate and respond to high-risk patients in the hospital before their condition deteriorates. It applies hospital-specific clinical profiles against data from the hospital information systems. Patients who meet the profiles’ criteria are automatically segmented into lists that are delivered directly to the individual clinician’s desktop or handheld device.

Identifying and responding to these high-risk patients earlier helps decrease length of stay, lower mortality and morbidity and reduce total cost of treatment.
