TheraSim reduces the variation in clinical care delivery and drug development through better tools to measure and improve clinician skills and knowledge.
 
 
44% of the medical error is due to knowledge or skill deficit of the clinician
Because doctors need better tools to keep up with new medical knowledge and protocols tools like TheraSim CPM
 
TheraSim CPM Gets Results
 
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 bullseye 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 itrepresents is shown on the right.

TheraSim Clinical Simulator (CS)
TheraSim CS is a clinical patient simulation platform for chronic and infectious diseases. TheraSim CS is designed to improve the flow of information to physicians about new drugs, diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. As the medical knowledgebase increases in complexity, physicians require more sophisticated tools to learn and apply that information for the benefit of patients. Despite the explosion of new drugs and tests in the last 30 years, the means whereby we measure and improve skill to incorporate these new tools remains much the same: lecture, reading and multiple choice tests. The Internet has increased the reach of medical education, but the primary means whereby this information is delivered remains divorced from the actual work of physicians - treating patients.
 
TheraSim Clinical Performance Management
  TheraSim CPM uses simulation, analytics and adaptive learning to identify skill gaps and deviations from best practices or protocols and fill those gaps.
 
TheraSim CPM is a suite of proven software tools that will enables CROs and 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, and
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
TheraSim Health Tracks
TheraSim Health Tracks is a competency assessment and improvement system that provides the management infrastructure for TheraSim CS simulations. Health Tracks organizes simulations and didactic information into comprehensive assessment and learning tracks that provide an accelerated distance learning environment for a variety of therapeutic areas such as HIV, diabetes and cardiology.
 
TheraSim Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
TheraSim EMR is a fully-featured patient scheduling and clinical data tracking software system. TheraSim EMR can be used over the internet, on a single computer or over a local area network. The distinguishing feature of TheraSim EMR is the fully integrated TheraSim CR (Clinical Rules) decision support system. Studies have shown that CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry) systems have a significantly greater impact on error reduction when combined with decision support ( Bates, et. al ).
 
TheraSim Physician’s Assistant (PA)
TheraSim PA is a portable, hand-held decision support system for the Palm™, Pocket PC™ and tablet computing platforms. TheraSim PA provides affordable, point-of-care decision support for clinicians involved in the delivery of pharmacotherapy for disease treatment.

TheraSim PA supports the clinician by delivering patient-centric information needed to select and deliver the most effective therapy. TheraSim PA interfaces through a wireless connection to the TheraSim EMR system. The patient data and desired treatment path are analyzed by TheraSim CR using a knowledgebase of clinical best practices. The clinical knowledgebase is derived from clinical treatment guidelines, pharmacokinetic databases and other reputable published sources of clinical algorithms and guidance.

TheraSim PA goes beyond simple information look-up to provide the detailed and complete information clinicians need to navigate the complexities of modern disease treatment and to ensure good quality care.
