HTL announced a collaboration with AvoMD, a digital clinical decision support platform, to develop a series of inpatient emergency clinical care algorithms. The goal is to empower rapid response teams to perform effectively under high-pressure situations. HTL will work with AvoMD to translate its proprietary algorithms for rapid response scenarios onto AvoMD’s application, providing efficient guidance in the clinical workflow. Mike Senter-Zapata, MD, lead clinical content physician, states: “Variability in knowledge, training, and experience can lead to inconsistent care and patient outcomes. By creating a digital suite of evidence-based rapid response clinical care algorithms, our team strives to facilitate the practice of high quality, evidence-based care during the most stressful and cognitively demanding clinical situations.” “We’ve had great success thus far digitizing content and processes for mobilizing emergency clinical teams, including in collaboration with the American Heart Association (AHA)” adds Jared Conley MD PhD MPH, Associate Director at HTL. “This opportunity with AvoMD will significantly accelerate our ability to leverage this technology further for the benefit of patients broadly.” The initial focus will be on algorithms for tachycardia, bradycardia, hypotension, hypoxia, and altered mental status. These algorithms will be available for customization and adoption by other healthcare organizations through AvoMD. HTL will measure the impact on clinician efficiency and confidence, using AvoMD’s analytics for data-driven optimization. See the full press release here.
