THE UNIVERSAL SCORE OF PATIENT CONDITION
The Rothman Index helps organizations to detect sepsis earlier, lower cost per case, prevent unplanned ICU transfers, reduce 30-day readmissions, and optimize palliative care consults.
SIMPLIFYING DATA IN THE EMR TO TRANSFORM THE CLINICAL AND FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY OF HEALTHCARE
The Rothman Index is the only proven algorithm that derives one simple score from the vast amount of data in the electronic medical record to create a picture of any patient’s condition over time – any age, any disease, any unit. It can detect patient deterioration hours or days earlier than existing scores and systems, and is the first patient deterioration surveillance solution of its kind to receive FDA 510(k) clearance. Our clients are hospitals and clinicians who need to identify patients at risk of rapid decline, make decisions about transfer and discharge, predict the risk of severe infection, and improve the overall efficiency and quality of care.

There are thousands of data points in our electronic medical record, and as clinicians we can only keep track of a finite number of them. It’s always a challenge to kind of sift through all the data…It (the Rothman Index) really becomes a shorthand, a way of letting people know the status of the patients…if they’re doing well, if they may be a little more concerning and need to have another set of eyes or maybe stay on an acute care unit a little longer. It has become part of the culture here.

It’s now a reflex. Just like looking at vital signs and progress notes, we look at the Rothman Index score and see where we are, what we need to do, and how we’re going to get there.
