Visensia for Hospitals

Real time intelligent analysis and alerting of patient deterioration, providing truly life saving insight

Today’s healthcare challenges have an immediate and direct impact on patient safety. The majority of Healthcare Organisations and Clinicians will identify with one or more of the below challenges within their own environment.

Failure to recognise…failure to communicate

In the UK, the National Patient Safety Agency’s analysis of serious patient safety incidents revealed that 11% of deaths were related to “deterioration not recognised or not acted upon”. This “process can fail by not taking observations, not recognising early signs of deterioration, not communicating observations causing concern and not responding to concerns appropriately”.

Improves communications

Visensia^® – The Safety Index^™ provides a single, highly reliable data point for caregivers to refer to when communicating a patient’s condition to other team members.

Visensia^® is effective because it can be trusted and helps to prevent “failure to recognise” by facilitating early identification of patients at risk.Visensia^® helps eliminate “failure to communicate” in crisis situations by providing a single health status index that all clinical team members can recognise, reference and respond to.

Accelerate response times

Having a reliable pre-crisis alert tool for Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) and other clinical teams can help improve response time system wide, leading to enhanced patient safety and outcomes

Issues with traditional paper based Early Warning Scoring Systems – Track & Trigger systems in the Inpatient – Acute Hospital Care setting have been highlighted in a number of recent news articles and clinical studies and a solution to aid caregivers to better identify deteriorating patients through simplification and automated risk identification to improve patient safety is required.

Intelligent Early Warning

Unlike traditional methods, Visensia uses an intelligent monitoring algorithm to analyse the continuous physiological vital sign data being received. This data is compared to a database of high risk patients and a predictive index between 0 and 5 is calculated in real time – The Visensia Safety Index (VSI).

Visensia is the first FDA cleared and CE marked index for multiple physiological parameter assessment with automated alert of its kind and has been designed to provide caregivers a simple, unambiguous call to action, helping to improve clinical outcomes and patient safety.
