eICU software continuously analyzes each patient’s unconfirmed vital signs, medications, lab results, care plan, and flowsheet for changes meeting criteria defined by clinical evidence. Powered by algorithms based upon the experience of treating more than 1 million ICU patients, Smart Alerts provide eICU clinicians with time-sensitive and relevant information, color coded by severity, so they can make the most informed decisions and intervene sooner to prevent complications.
Unlike other alert systems, Smart Alert prompts are personalized for each patient, taking into consideration the patient’s own baseline and underlying condition. As a result, clinicians are able to provide individually customized care to a large number of patients without creating alert fatigue.
