Adoption Strategy Pilot 10W & 5N New Parkland (Go Live May 19, 2015) Secure Text Messaging Nurse Call Alerts Patient Monitoring Alarms Stat Order Notification Critical Lab Notifications Abnormal Report Availability Bed Management Asset Tracking Infant Security Alerts Patient Experience Manually Generated Operator Alerts Fire Alarm Notifications PRN Medication Effectiveness Reminder
Applications of Mobile Alert and Alarms Nursing Nurse Call secondary Alerts Patient communication Patient Monitor/Tele Alarms PRN Medication Effectiveness Reminder (Pain reassessment after pain meds) Code Blue for babies Infant Security Alerts In Development Critical Results out of Radiology (McKesson) Enhanced Sepsis warnings via predictive analytics Out of ICU Leveraging Parkland Data and ML to generate real-time messages to the appropriate care givers Coordinated Care Teams Secure messaging with patient context STAT orders Abnormal Results Bed Management (Environmental Services and ADT bed availability) Patient Flow Anesthesia
Nurse Call Alerts Patient calls from pillow speakers, pull cords, code or staff assist buttons, or staff terminal buttons Audible annunciation indicates the specific need Rules-based escalation until need is addressed Able to remotely talk directly to patient from the mobile Removes the middleman Reduces noise pollution Nursing Use Case: Nurse Call/Patient Communication
Nursing Use Case: Nurse Call/Patient Communication
Nursing Use Case: Patient Monitor Alarms Patient Monitor Alarms Bedside Philips monitors Wireless Telemetry Sample statistics of usage* >24,000 total alarms delivered through the system per day >12,000 unique alarms per day *based upon 3/31/2017 data
Nursing Use Case: Pain Reassessment Automated, asynchronous alert sent to the mobile device on the nurse assigned to a patient Nurse receives a reminder 1 hour after giving a prn pain medication to assess the effectiveness of the intervention Required by TJC and CMS Great patient satisfier The right thing to do ~30,000 opportunities per month
Nursing Use Case: Baby Blue Baby Blue 200-500 alarms per week Automated alert sent to all members of the NICU when code button is pressed in a room Initiates a specialized response TotGuard Alerts route to all hospital mobile devices as an immediate alarm effecting rapid action
Nursing Use Case: Baby Blue 1600.00 Pedi 1400.00 1200.00 1000.00 800.00 Pedi 600.00 400.00 200.00 0.00 September 2015 September 2016 September 2017
Secure, encrypted, HIPAA compliant Team members can be found by selecting the patient name SMS is preferred by many nurses and providers due to busy nature of patient care Excellent audit trail capabilities Rules-based escalation pathways for alerts/patient calls/alarms Coordinated Care Teams: Secure Care Team Communication
Coordinated Care Teams: STAT Orders and Critical Lab Results STAT Respiratory Therapy orders STAT Med Orders Critical Lab Results Routed based upon patient s care team in Epic Enhances communication Real-time exchange of important messages that are time-sensitive
Coordinated Care Teams: Patient Flow Automated Admission notifications to: The receiving units, when bed is assigned in BAM/Registration The sending units (30 minutes later, automated message sent to sending unit to say the bed is available for transfer) Patient transport messages are initiated from a staff terminal within the patient s room: When the transporter is in the room to pick up a patient When the transporter returns with the patient Button generates the following notifications: Level 1: An instant notification to the RN and PCA assigned to the patient Level 2: Two minutes after the 1 st notification, if not accepted or declined, a second notification is sent to the Charge Nurse
Transport TAT
Improved Care Through More Accurate Attribution Markedly improved ability to know who is caring for the patient at any given moment in time
Attribution Tracking
Coordinated Care Teams: Anesthesia Anesthesia: Reassessment orders Epidural removals
Evolving Functionality: Critical Results Collaboration between 3 vendors in innovating to create solutions where few are present Leveraging Luminary status with both relationships to transform offerings Semi-automated critical result notification for radiology studies Process whereby radiologists create critical result notification and the PACS vendor relays that to the EMR, which passes along to the mobile communication vendor
Next Steps: Sepsis Predictive Alerts Data model aggregates multiple patient specific variables in real time to estimate the risk of a patient being classified as septic Labs, Vitals, Orders Predictive Analytics Engine Empirically Tested Statistical Model Sample Risk Score Component Variables Vitals Arterial PCO2 INR Platelet Count WBC Lactate And several other lab related variables Sepsis Risk Score
