‘IPRob’ is a real-time risk management support tool for OB practitioners. Used in over 100,000 births to date, E&C says the system has demonstrated statistical reductions in risk and prevention of critical clinical errors in what is traditionally the highest medical liability risk area in healthcare.
Through the use of the smart technology provided by E&C Medical Intelligence, not only will we be able to improve patient care but we will add convenience and support for our clinicians, said Charles Castle, MD, SVP Lancaster General Women and Babies Hospital.
E&C says IPRob functions as an intelligent OB chart for both physicians and
nurses, proactively supports clinicians in avoiding clinical mistakes, while generating meticulous documentation. At its core is a clinical knowledgebase comprised of over 6,500 best practice protocols in OB and 13,000 clinical data fields.
The system’s inference engine analyzes current patient data against this clinical knowledgebase to offer clinicians appropriate choices of care, documentation and risk management pathways for the current specific clinical situation. The complete IPRob package also includes a risk management consultancy to help identify, isolate, and remediate quality deviations from the hospital’s accepted best practices.
