Description

Product Description:

Across the country, hospital intensive care units admit more than 5 million critically ill patients. When these units are staffed by intensivists, lengths of stay and costs (estimated at $13 million annually) are reduced.

Although there are significant benefits to intensivist-led intervention and care, coverage continues to be an ongoing challenge, a challenge addressed by Avel eCare ICU. Utilizing innovative remote monitoring technology, Avel’s credentialed and privileged intensivists provide ongoing remote monitoring, immediate intervention, and on-demand consultation to help ICU teams respond faster when a critical change occurs.

Facilities with Avel eCare ICU services improve the use of evidence-based medicine, reduce staff burnout thanks to 24/7 monitoring, reduce rates of complications and mortality, and reduce transfers which deliver an economic boost to both the facility and the local community.

During the last 12 months, Avel eCare ICU has had the following impact:

  • 203 lives saved
  • $11.2 million in costs saved
  • 7,000 less days on the ICU through faster response times to complications
About Avera eCare:
Avera eCARE® is a national leader in virtual health care with a proven 25-year record in visionary thinking. We’re using innovation to find new ways to connect our specialty care providers to health systems — both large and small.
Product Description:
LifeScience Technologies has developed a remote patient engagement platform called m.Care. The Patient Engagement mobile app has over 60 separate, yet integrated, software applets that run on smart phones and tablets. Applications include tracking for physical activity, nutrition, medication adherence, and monitoring of key vital signs. Additional applets also capture videos and photographs, provide education, gamification, and much more. We integrate with fitness and Bluetooth-enabled devices and most applets use voice recognition, providing significant flexibility and utilization for the end user. Hospitals are free to pick and choose which applets they would like to use to manage the needs of a specific patient or group of patients. These applets communicate with our servers and the resulting data allows hospitals and medical professionals to better monitor, manage and communicate with a specific patient population, such as patients with a particular disease, chronically ill patients or discharged patients who have had major surgery. The intent is to improve overall outcomes by showing, on a “real-time” basis, whether a patient is improving or regressing after they are outside of the hospital’s direct care. This will also assist in reducing potential CMS readmission penalties. The back-end system is an extensive, web-based, Care Coordinator Portal, complete with an easily configurable alert and task management system, as well as dashboards for monitoring the assigned patient population. The platform uses data analytics and predictive modeling to proactively manage a targeted patient population. In summary, m.Care is a virtual care platform for remote patient monitoring and patient engagement.

Services

Count on Avel eCare ICU for the ongoing monitoring, on-demand consultation and immediate intervention that hospitals need for critically ill patients.

Avel’s interactive video, decision-support software and remote monitoring technology allow the ICU critical care team to monitor trends in patients’ vital signs. Meanwhile, sophisticated predictive analytics recognize and alert to subtle changes in patient status – allowing local care teams to respond faster when a critical change occurs.

While Avel eCare ICU doesn’t replace bedside resources, it does support local teams with:

  • 24/7 immediate access to board-certified intensivists and medical professionals
  • Continuous monitoring of patients
  • Early intervention with physiological and lab changes
  • Predictive analytics for proactive medicine
  • Post-consult analysis for continuous quality improvement
  • Rigorous adherence to evidence-based medicine

Avel intensivists become credentialed and privileged at originating facilities, which also allows them to provide orders and care for patients as needed.

How It Works

  1. The Avel team implements monitoring software and hardware into ICU rooms
  2. Once patients are admitted to the ICU, they receive around-the-clock monitoring from Avel eCare ICU’s board-certified intensivists and seasoned critical care nurses. Avel eCare ICU clinicians remotely view real-time patient information such as cardiac monitors, lab results, medications and care notes via electronic medical record interfaces and technology integration
  3. The Avel team performs rounds on every patient, ensuring adherence with evidence-based care bundles like sepsis, ventilator weaning protocols, DVT prophylaxis and stress ulcer prophylaxis
  4. The Avel team collaborates with originating site’s ICU team to assess patients and communicate interactively through high-definition video
  5. For additional support, advanced video technology allows Avel eCare ICU clinicians to see close-up views of patient indicators like pupil size, skin color and settings on patient-support devices
  6. Any change in the patient’s status notifies the Avel eCare ICU team and prompts them to review and respond to the patient’s new status
  7. The team will then alert bedside staff of any potential change that may require medical intervention to avoid any adverse health problems
