Clinical Process Modules for advancing Quality & Patient Safety

Care guidelines are frequently changing and the general body of clinical knowledge is constantly growing, making it difficult for individual clinicians to keep up, and even more challenging for health systems to ensure their EHR content is up-to-date. Updated guidance must be added and outdated order sets removed to eliminate unnecessary care variations and ensure clinicians are following best practices for patient care. LogicStream Health’s Clinical Process Improvement Solutions help health systems to speed the process of removing outdated information from the EHR and replacing it with current guidance to drive key clinical processes.

Using these modules, health systems have achieved significant results, including:

• 30% reduction in CAUTI rate
• 50% reduction in C. diff infection rate
• 95% compliance with VTE bundle
• Sepsis LOS reduction

Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a major source of hospital-acquired infection leading to excess morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure.
