Decisio White Paper

CONCLUSION
Decisio Health produces a visual surveillance system that is designed to provide
bedside decision support to clinicians. This system can be used for a wide variety
of clinical tracking purposes. This white paper discussed its use during a recent
implementation in an academic medical setting designed to identify the incidence
of sepsis, a common infection among hospitalized patients in the United States,
and to facilitate rapid treatment.
Health of Populations
We demonstrated that use of DECISIOInsight ® was significantly positively
associated with decreased time to antibiotic administration (p=0.05) as well as the
incidence of severe sepsis (p=0.08). Even with less than a year’s worth of data,
we observed a significant reduction in mortality from sepsis (p=0.05).
Experience of Care
As measured by length of stay (LOS), which is a stressful time for patients, we
noted a significant reduction (p=0.03, p=0.05) in both overall hospital LOS (22%
reduction) and ICU LOS (25%).
Cost of Care
Our clinical partners calculated an initial cost savings equal to $28.2 million per
annum, largely due to a reduction in length of stay.
Clinician Experience
We’re proud to report that our clinical partners are using DECISIOInsight ® , which is
helping them to adhere to the Surviving Sepsis guidelines and to improve the
quality of care they provide. This is being done on their terms, according to their
own needs and preferences.
