Decisio White Paper

CLINICIAN EXPERIENCE
Physicians Thomas Bodenheimer and Christine Sinsky have proposed 12 that in
order to meet the IHI Triple Aim goals of improved population health while
simultaneously improving the patient’s experience of care and reducing costs, a
fourth aim may be required. Attending to the work life of clinicians and the staff
providing the nation’s healthcare is crucial. In essence, we must care for the
people who care for us.
At Decisio Health, we think this makes perfect sense. It’s why we have designed a
visualization system that collects data passively and does not require clinicians to
do extra documentation of any kind in order to generate a sepsis score. We create
interfaces with the information systems we need to make the algorithms run
undetected in the background. Here are some of the other ways we demonstrate
care and respect for the clinicians we work with:
• We bring the tools to our clinical partners and let them decide how to
implement them. We do not tell them which sepsis bundle to use or what
should be in it. Our clinical partners can use existing order sets or go
through their existing governance councils to update whatever they wish,
but we do not push anything on them.
• Our clinical partners decide how the sepsis alerts should look and feel. We
adapt to their needs. They can look the same in every unit within the
organization or can be designed to meet the needs and preferences of
different departments.
• We adapt to the changing workflow requirements of clinical departments
and program the software accordingly. Where should the sepsis alert go?
To the bedside nurse? To the physician? To the chief resident? We can
customize alerts based on our partner’s preferences.
• We understand that dashboard reporting can make a big difference in the
quality of care you are able to provide. We are available to help and make
real-time changes as needed.
We’re here to support your clinicians so they can do what it takes to keep your
patients happy and healthy, as these stories demonstrate.
Decisio Health supports their clinical partners with a 24/7 help line
that is available to make immediate changes to the configuration of
dashboards that clinicians rely on to provide care. One evening in
