Humedica has released ‘MinedStream’, a real-time and predictive clinical surveillance solution. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) product has been designed to help health care organisations improve the quality and safety of patient care.

Humedica MinedStream puts vital patient-level information in the hands of clinicians while patients are still in the hospital receiving care. This enables clinicians to intervene quickly to improve clinical outcomes and patient care during a hospital stay.

The company claims that MinedStream is a real-time predictive clinical surveillance tool that identifies high-risk, high-cost patients, tracks necessary care and supports clinicians as they intervene to improve care. This allows hospitals and medical groups to enhance operational performance, reduce organisational cost and optimise payer reimbursement.

The product compresses the time to intervention and allows clinicians to take action before the opportunity to improve patient care has elapsed. It reduces costly preventable complications and ensures compliance with The Joint Commission’s Core Measures and reduces patient morbidity and mortality.

Furthermore, it also allows users to automate the identification of patients to be tracked and prioritises physician effort and workflow, improving operational and financial performance, and offers a simple and intuitive dashboard that offers real-time patient status updates.

Michael Weintraub, president and CEO of Humedica, said: “Potentially preventable complications are a significant concern for hospital executives, government officials and patients alike and are estimated to add nearly 10% to hospital inpatient costs, representing an $88 billion issue for our nation’s hospitals.

“With Humedica MinedStream, we are providing hospitals with essential access to real-time and accurate patient-level information, which is the key to reducing these costly and dangerous preventable complications and improving the quality and safety of care delivered in our nation’s hospitals.”
