The Use of Predictive Analytics to Improve Quality of Care
CANCELED Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) precautions. Refunds have been processes to your credit card and no action is needed on your side.
This presentation will briefly review clinical informatics with a focus on tools designed to help guide clinical decision making to improve patient outcomes. A predictive analytics tool developed to identify patients likely to be or become septic will be presented as a case example.
Sepsis is a major healthcare problem and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection[1]. An estimated 270,000 Americans die each year of sepsis and 1 and 3 patients who die in a hospital have sepsis[2]. Improving outcomes requires early identification and early intervention. At the end of this presentation attendees should be able to:
-
- Identify individuals at risk of developing sepsis
- Describe the signs and symptoms of sepsis
- Describe current approaches to the diagnosis and management of sepsis
- Explain how clinical decision support tools may be integrated into the electronic health record to help guide clinical decision making
