Predicting Patient Deterioration

October 20, 2025

What if you could predict patient deterioration before it happens?
Before they are discharged from hospital?

In today’s fast-paced clinical environments, early detection of subtle changes in a patient’s condition can mean the difference between recovery and crisis.

That’s where the Rothman Index and the NHS Early Warning Scores help.

They are both powerful, real-time patient acuity score derived from routine EMR data – vitals, lab results, and nursing assessments. It’s visual, easy to interpret, and continuously updates as new data comes in.

Why it matters:
💡 Identifies at-risk patients earlier
💡 Supports timely interventions
💡 Reduces readmissions
💡  Reduces unplanned ICU transfers
💡 Enhances discharge planning
💡 Improves patient outcomes

Hospitals using these metrics are seeing measurable improvements in care quality and operational efficiency.

It’s not just data – it’s insight. And insight saves lives.
