In addition to
displaying our All New Severity Scoring
Simulator, ICUTracker® ICU Database and
GlucoStabilizer® Insulin Management System at
Booth #1011, we invite you attend an
educational workshop and discussion on:
-
The use of SMRs
to compare ICU performance
-
Why using the
right predictive model is important
-
A glimpse into
the next generation of ICU metrics
Predictive
models decline in accuracy over time, giving the
continual impression of satisfactory ICU
performance - when in reality, the opposite
could be true. This was suspected for two
commonly used predictive equations: hospital
mortality and ICU length of stay (LOS). In order
to test these equations, a decision was made to
update the predictions using more current data.
The resulting equations, called ACUITY 2016,
drastically improved accuracy when compared to
the leading severity scoring system, with
observed and predicted values being nearly
identical. These new models also exhibited
improved precision throughout the range of
severity, and they gave a better snapshot of an
ICU's adjusted mortality, LOS, and duration of
mechanical ventilation.
Presented by
Prescient Healthcare Consulting and
sponsored by MDN, this workshop is intended for
anyone interested in assessing assessing patient
outcomes and quality improvement.
