Talent shortage and burnout are common issues in the healthcare industry. Healthcare facilities and hospitals struggle to optimize their medical staff while keeping operating and administrative costs reasonable. Moreover, the mental load on clinicians to make accurate clinical decisions based on patient data is the most challenging issue on both the personnel and business front. The Etiometry platform is built to resolve real world challenges of care teams by providing a holistic view of patient data from the bedside or remotely and enabling clinical staff with a data-driven approach to communicate their needs in high-acuity units confidently.
Additionally, the platform allows early recognition of patient deterioration and improvement to enable clinical teams to optimize the patient journey across the care continuum, which can reduce length of stay (LOS) and help address overflow in critical care units…

How Documentation, Length of Stay and Capacity Shape Cardiac Surgery Margins
What four years of CABG data from one cardiothoracic ICU suggest about each. Most patients recover from coronary artery bypass grafting along a familiar path: extubation, vasoactive weaning, transfer to the floor, discharge. For some, the postoperative course brings respiratory failure, acute kidney injury or cardiogenic shock. Those complications shape the patient’s recovery, and they […]
What Continuous Physiologic Data Reveals About Cardiogenic Shock
A retrospective analysis compared cardiogenic shock staging built from charted values with staging built from continuous data. The differences were clinically meaningful. In one patient’s record from the analysis, the chart shows a mean arterial pressure of 71 mmHg, and an hour later, 66 mmHg. Read on their own, the two values suggest a patient […]
When Cardiogenic Shock Goes Undocumented: The Clinical and Financial Cost
A missed or unrecorded diagnosis affects the patient first, and the hospital’s ability to care for the next patient soon after. In a busy cardiac ICU, cardiogenic shock is often managed before it is named. Pressors are titrated, labs are trended and the team responds to what the patient’s physiology is telling them. But the […]
