ClairVia® Outcomes-Driven Patient Acuity
ClairVia Patient Acuity is the first and only acuity system:
- Driven by a patient-outcomes approach
- Integrated with evidence-based clinical practice
- Designed to improve financial performance
Driven by a Patient-Outcomes Approach
ClairVia Patient Acuity is an acuity methodology that focuses on each patient's progress (or lack of progress) toward meeting expected outcomes, and the staffing levels and skills needed to adhere to and optimize patient progress through your healthcare organization.
Other acuity methodologies track caregiver activities and measure tasks performed. They don't focus on the patient's condition, and because they're not integrated to either the patient's progress or the expected course of care, they don't address the overriding goal: achieving the best possible clinical outcome for each patient.
Implementing ClairVia Patient Acuity with ClairVia Demand Manager's patient progress tracking technology enables caregivers to precisely monitor patient acuity and condition from admission to discharge, and to compare actual patient status to the patient's overall, expected, outcomes-based care pattern.
This real-time monitoring of patients and the staffing needed to care for them improves clinical efficiency and results. Caregivers know exactly when and how patients are departing from their planned patterns of care, and can make immediate staffing changes, if necessary, to get them back on track and progressing toward discharge.
Initial Patient Assessment & Outcomes Measurement
ClairVia Patient Acuity integrates both direct-entry and electronic patient assessments. For healthcare organizations not currently using an EMR, ClairVia Acuity provides a direct-entry screen that enables clinicians to rapidly and easily enter acuity data into the system.
ClairVia Patient Acuity fully integrates outcomes assessments from all electronic medical records (EMR) systems via HL7 data connectivity.
Integrated with evidence-based clinical practice
ClairVia Patient Acuity is the first acuity system that integrates with and complements each healthcare organization's existing clinical practices.
Because it's a by-product of your present clinical practice, ClairVia Patient Acuity requires no extra steps or work. It leverages the established nursing approaches and evidence-based documentation — whether it's manual or electronic — caregivers already use.
In integrating patient assessments and tracking patient progress, ClairVia Patient Acuity incorporates any type of outcomes-assessment strategy and utilizes all industry-accepted, outcomes-based taxonomies.
Designed to improve financial performance
By tracking each patient's actual progress against a planned, outcomes-based course of care, and alerting caregivers to any deviation from the optimal plan, ClairVia Patient Acuity helps healthcare organizations actively manage both the cost and quality of care.
The system directly impacts profitability since the optimal course of care is based on the targeted progress pattern of certain patient-related groups, such as assigned Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) under Medicare's prospective payment system.
When patients diverge from their targeted progress pattern, caregivers can make any staffing adjustments needed to get them back on track as quickly as possible, improving cost-efficiency.
ClairVia Patient Acuity provides the documented proof where and why a patient deviates from the desired plan of care, and can pinpoint the role of staffing in the deviation. Comparisons can be made for similar patients on different units to see whether patient progress differs. Studies may be conducted to identify variables and pinpoint best practices for optimal patient progress.
