Poised to Save OhioHealth Up to $7M Annually,
The New Solution Decreases Patient Length of Stay and Promotes
Ideal Patient Flow
Qventus, Inc., the leading provider of AI-based software to
automate health system operations and promote patient flow, today
launched its expanded version of their Inpatient Solution. The
solution - which is used by leading health systems across the US -
predicts and automates discharge planning, and is fully embedded
into EHR workflows. The solution targets the most crucial
challenges in healthcare operations: reducing length of stay (LOS)
and risk of complications, improving staff efficiency, and
enhancing patient and physician satisfaction.
With Qventus’ Inpatient Solution, health systems reduce excess
days by 20 -- 35 percent and cut LOS by up to one entire day.
Within the first month of deployment, OhioHealth increased bed
capacity and significantly improved care coordination across the
health system, saving nearly 1,400 excess days and approximately
$550,000 (forecasted to save 16,800+ excess days and $6.6M in the
first year).
Healthcare systems are grappling with escalating safety-critical
threats, including a projected nursing shortage of 450,000 bedside
nurses by 2027, further strained by soaring emergency department
boarding times. Qventus’ Inpatient Solution uses AI to detect gaps
in care plans and optimally sequence key care steps to best support
patient flow. Using Qventus’ real-time data and accurate
predictions results in reduced time spent on manual work and
enhanced patient outcomes from timely discharges and smoother
transitions to post-hospital care.
Extended length of stay strains health system finances, burdens
staff, decreases patient satisfaction, and worsens health outcomes,
according to a recent JAMA article. “By integrating AI intelligence
seamlessly into the EHR, we ensure every patient has the benefit of
an early, accurate discharge plan with barriers proactively
surfaced for care team members via automations, reducing manual
workload and improving patient flow,” said Mudit Garg CEO and
Co-Founder of Qventus. “It's incredibly rewarding to see our
solution help health systems improve care infrastructure, increase
capacity, and make meaningful steps toward decreasing the burden on
our frontline care teams.”
Manual processes create inefficiencies that can extend patient
stay by more than a day beyond medical necessity. Across 34 million
inpatient admissions, that translates to a staggering 34 million
excess days – a $34 billion burden on the healthcare system. Built
to help combat this, Qventus’ Inpatient Solution includes key
features:
- Fully embedded in the EHR: Streamlines workflows to keep
care team members within their existing EHR environment.
- Early Discharge Planning (EDP) Intelligence: Real-time
insights embedded within existing workflows help care teams set
aggressive, but achievable discharge dates, and support optimal
disposition determination, using ML models trained on customer
data, including provider notes.
- Flow Prioritization: A machine learning algorithm
embedded directly in the EHR worklists analyzes patient and census
data to determine the optimal order sequence, proactively freeing
up capacity and ensuring timely discharges.
- Automated Workflows: Qventus' intelligence engine
detects gaps in the care plan, prompting providers for key orders,
and automatically opens/closes milestones, saving care team
time.
“Today’s care teams are overwhelmed by urgent needs and struggle
to plan effectively. With the right tools, we’re able to leverage
our data to identify emerging themes, streamlining our operations
and optimizing bed utilization,” said Scott Estep, System Vice
President, Nursing Operations & Capacity Management at
OhioHealth. “With Qventus Inpatient Solution we’ve reduced the
length of stay for patients significantly, resulting not only in
significant financial savings but also increased access to
care.”
Qventus’ growing portfolio of solutions maximizes operating room
(OR) utilization, automates discharge planning, and creates
best-in-class practices for healthcare operations within surgery
and inpatient service lines. This announcement comes on the heels
of Qventus releasing the results of its first 3 years of deployment
with HonorHealth, in which 86 percent of patients received early
discharge plans saving the health system over 50,000 excess days,
leading to $62 million saved.
