TheraSim - Solutions: Hospital & Managed Care

44% of medical error is due to knowledge or skill deficit of the clinician

TheraSim CPM is a suite of proven software tools that enables healthcare providers to:

Measure clinical performance and adherence to protocol, guidelines and best practices

Predict error rates and their financial impact into the future then institute preventative measures

Improve clinician performance through an advanced simulation, e-mentoring and analytics.

TheraSim CPM will help you meet and exceed clinical reporting and performance standards in a marketplace that is becoming more performance-driven and quality-oriented. TheraSim CPM provides the industries most advanced set of quality assessment, reporting and improvement tools. TheraSim CPM helps healthcare practices reduce medical error and optimize performance dependant reimbursement models such as “pay for performance” (P4P). Studies show that billions in direct clinical costs are spent each year in the US to mitigate the effects of medical error (hospitalizations, additional doctor visits, additional medication, etc.) and tens of thousands of preventable deaths occur. 49% of these errors originate from 1 the initial physician order and 44% of physician-originated 2 errors are the result of knowledge or skill deficit. The TheraSim CPM platform consists of the following tools which can be integrated with legacy medical information systems or used as a standalone, all-inclusive structure.

These graphs illustrate the ability of TheraSim CPM to measure and improve the clinical quality and performance of participating clinicians. This data consisted of a cohort of 170 physicians from 60 CDC supported hospitals managing over 20,000 patients with HIV/AIDS in East Africa. Each of the red dots in the graphs indicate a clinical interaction between a physician and a simulated patient. The patient simulations were drawn from patients charts that are typical of the ranges of cases they would typically face. Over 2000 simulations were conducted. The distance the red dot is from the center indicates the cumulate errors that occurred in the simulation. Dots that are within the green bulls eye indicate technical errors that would not adversely impact patient outcomes. The further the dot is from the center, the more severe the deviation from treatment guidelines and/or cumulative errors such as drug interactions, misdiagnosis or dosing errors.

The left graph shows the baseline performance of the cohort at installation of TheraSim CPM. After working with TheraSim Health Tracks and it’s e-mentoring system for 5 months, the cohort was measured again using different simulations that test the same competencies. That performance and the dramatic improvement it represents is shown on the right.
