Chief Science Officer at PeraHealth
We are revolutionizing the delivery of quality heath care, based on the efficient use of integrated electonic data. The Rothman Index is a widely published, and widely implemented measure of patient condition, computed in real time, fed by the EMR, and presented in the form of a graph, integrated into all major EMRs... we’re one of the first members of the Epic App Orchard. My Phd is in Theoretical Physical Chemistry, but I’ve been working in the field of mathematical modeling for 30 years... the last 12 in the development of the Rothman Index and related applications. Our passion is in improving care, and a number of prospective studies have shown that hospitals which integrate the RI into daily protocols, have been successful in doing just that... with reported reductions in mortality, readmissions, unplanned transfers to the ICU... I’ll be at the conference until Wednesday afternoon... send me a message if you’d like to learn more about our work... although the academic side is already in the literature... in 30+ articles... but the more important part is how we’ve integrated into Care to assist physicians and nurses.
