Introducing the Health Catalyst Monitor™
Patient Safety Suite: Surveillance Module
Today’s standard approach of manual
reporting hospital safety events reportedly
finds less than 5 percent of all-cause harm.
This limited approach, based on data that is
at least 30 days old, also requires extensive
time and resources for data extraction,
aggregation, and reporting, resulting in
limited root-cause analyses.
This approach is like doing archeology –
digging through ancient safety events to
identify the causes of harm, which does
nothing to help with the patient in the bed
right now.

Introducing the Health Catalyst Monitor™
Patient Safety Suite: Surveillance Module
The Surveillance Module quickly identifies
patterns of harm and proposes strategies to
eliminate patient safety risks and hazards
for current and future patients.
This potent combination of predictive
analytics, text analytics and near real-time
data from multiple sources enables the
Patient Safety Monitor Suite to predict harm
events and trigger a response while the
patient is still in the hospital.

Patient Safety Suite: Surveillance Module
The patient safety suite, along with quality-
improvement services and the Health Catalyst
PSO, turns the current paradigm on its head.
Unlike other approaches to using analytics
within a PSO to identify and address episodes
of patient harm, the suite monitors triggers in
near real-time to reveal whether a patient is
currently at risk for a safety event, so
clinicians can intervene to prevent it.
It provides constant vigilance; no patient
encounter goes unnoticed.
