Never Event Prevention

VTEs

Rulester’s healthcare platform provides early warnings to reduce never events. For example, our platform provides predictive risk stratification of patients at risk for venous thrombo-embolism and additionally also delivers analytics on prophylaxis, its effectiveness and the risk of complications with and without chemoprophylaxis. The platform is integrated with the hospital’s EMR and therefore keeps current with each admission and discharge. The moment a new patient is stratified as a high risk individual who does not have chemoprophylaxis, we enable the anti-coagulation team to intervene and communicate with the physician. The anti-coagulation team and the physician is also presented with evidence of comparative hospitals for the usage of chemoprophylaxis, the incidence of DVTs without chemoprophylaxis and the resulting complication such as a bleed with chemoprophylaxis. Our system dynamically collects, polls and analyzes data in real-time and thus is able to present point-in-time evidence to the physician and/or anti-coagulation team. The product is being implemented hospital-wide at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, IL.

Slip and Falls

Other hospital products include an early warning system to predict silp and fall risk for patients, presenting evidence for best fall prevention measure by patient type and integrating with the ‘EHR’ so the hospital can compare themselves to others in the area real-time.

Readmissions

We are also in the process of evaluating early warnings for readmissions. Thus, we would score a patient upon admission for readmission risk and enable the hospital, the caregiver and the patient to work as a team with the physician to provide care.
