Wolters Kluwer, Health, released today the newest version of its industry-leading clinical surveillance solution, Sentri7®. The solution gives hospitals tools and resources to stay in front of new and emerging clinical challenges and battle the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are taking a toll on patient safety and hospital costs. In an April 2018 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 221 instances of unusual resistance of so-called nightmare bacteria that are virtually invulnerable to most known treatments.
“Battling these antibiotic-resistant superbugs calls for new and more advanced ways of detecting them and treating patients,” said Karen Kobelski, General Manager of Safety and Surveillance at Wolters Kluwer, Health. “We have a decade of knowledge, learnings and outcomes that allow us to deliver a platform that is smarter and tuned to workflows of frontline clinicians and the speed at which they need to make decisions. The latest release of Sentri7 on the SoleSource™ platform will help hospitals and health systems adopt even more advanced surveillance practices.”
Sentri7 is part of a suite of applications that have been integrated into the SoleSource platform, which brings together solutions that address a wide range of clinical surveillance challenges and compliance activities across a hospital or health system. It makes it easier for clinicians to proactively identify patients who may be experiencing a life-threatening condition or quickly find and respond to an infection before it spreads.
Newly released surveillance capabilities include:
- The integration of clinical initiatives on the SoleSource platform for antimicrobial stewardship, medication management, infection prevention and opioid management. The platform also contains POC Advisor®, a dedicated surveillance module for sepsis and other emergent conditions.
- Out-of-the-box, evidence-based content including alerts and recommended actions for real-time prioritization of urgent conditions and follow-up for patients at-risk.
- Integrated documentation provides a one-click solution to push clinical notes into the EHR, keeping the full care team on the same page while eliminating double documentation.
- Robust analytics create an environment for continuous improvement by enabling clinicians and administrators to understand how their interventions are driving measurable improvement in cost and outcomes performance.
