Mount Sinai Taps CloudMedx to Use Predictive Analytics for CHF Patients

Mount Sinai Health System Launches Telehealth Initiatives

Mount Sinai Hospital and CloudMedx, today announced a collaborate on congestive heart failure to improve workflows and patients care management. As part of the collaboration, Mount Sinai will leverage intelligent predictive insights from CloudMedx in order to identify patients who are at higher risk of CHF and use evidence based care interventions to improve their outcomes such as reduced readmissions and overall well-being.

Mount Sinai wanted to combine evidence based digital medicine technology with a team of remote monitoring experts and chose CloudMedx’s predictive analytics platform to integrate seamlessly within MSH’s workflows.

CloudMedx predicts patient clinical risks during their visits, including any gaps in their care that need to be addressed immediately. It also determines which of these patients are at high risk and therefore would be likely to get readmitted within a certain amount of time. These risks can then be countered by custom tailoring treatment guidelines to ensure that patients do not fall sick again. This process reduces waste, expense, fatigue, and time, while improving outcomes and freeing up resources for other patients.

According to Medicare, some 20% of Medicare patients being discharged all across the country get readmitted within 30 days of discharge with an estimated cost of unplanned re-hospitalizations being more than $17.4 billion. These adverse events occur because of a variety of reasons ranging from discharge plans not being followed to complications as a result of comorbidities or medications. Programs like the one at MSH are geared towards identifying patients who are at-risk for certain adverse events using a combination of clinical and socio-economic data.

Once the parameters are analyzed and the relevant patients are determined, the cohort is enrolled in specialized connected health program like HealthPROMISE to help them better manage their condition and symptoms. This initiative is in line with large scale reform programs like the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP), a state-wide, $8 billion effort that aims to reduce avoidable hospital use by 25%.

One of the main objectives for Mount Sinai is to reduce these costly events across multiple disease areas such as CHF and other chronic diseases. The use of predictive analytics can serve as a primary weapon against these occurrences.

“We are passionate about bringing advanced analytics to the forefront of managing our chronic patients and improving our patient wellbeing,” Ashish Atreja, Chief Technology Innovation and Engagement Officer in Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, explained. He also added, “As an industry, we do not have a sufficiently sophisticated tool to predict certain things such as disease progression and resulting readmissions in hospitals. We are working with CloudMedx to use new guidelines and algorithms, using clinical data to determine these risks and predictors. CloudMedx has a fast, scalable platform that can allows us to do just that. We found CloudMedx to be very intuitive and useful. CloudMedx has a robust Clinical AI platform that has the ability to 1) ingest and process large amounts of data; 2) do big-data analytics fast; and 3) perform natural language processing on unstructured notes to surface patient risk profiles in real time. All of this reduces time, effort, and expense drastically.”
