TODAYS GUEST

• Sean Benson, Vice President of Innovation, Wolters Kluwer Health

We discuss the following with Sean on this episode:

• The current problems with hospital IT: As patient data continues to grow rapidly, hospital systems struggle to turn the information into actionable data. Additionally, the disparities between silo’ed-clinical systems, such as pharmacy, labs and EHRs, force physicians to make care decisions based on fragmented information.
• Focus of the Wolters Kluwer Health Innovation Lab: Normalizing patient data from these disparate systems in order to create actionable, evidence-based advice at the point of care.
• The role POC Advisor™ plays in addressing these issues.
• Current pilot study at Alabama’s Huntsville Hospital: Reducing the mortality (by 53%!) and reducing costs associated with sepsis.
• Plans for HIMSS15
• Future applications: Work underway to apply POC Advisor to MEWS (Modified Early Warning Score). Future modules expected to include pneumonia, heart disease and diabetes.
