It's Time for a smarter ER

It’s Time for Smarter and Friendlier Emergency Departments

For patients and family members, arrival to an emergency department can be an anxiety-provoking event.  Often, those responsible for the care are distracted, potentially ignoring or discounting your needs.  In reality, the opposite is often true.  The problem, until now, there has been no effective way for emergency healthcare systems to communicate this to the people that matter the most.

Instead, when arriving to an emergency department, patients should be directly connected to hub of vital care process information.  Creating an easy-to-use, yet powerful mobile application would provide this direct interface to the healthcare system. Patients will now be informed about what steps are being taken for care, who is on the care team and provided targeted informational materials.

It is time for smarter and friendlier emergency departments.

It’s time for transparency and patient-level control. Patients are yearning for it, they expect it and medical systems are looking for ways to meet their expectations.  That’s why I decided to build a solution.

Designed by the frontline, navigatER was built to address our patient’s needs. Through a unique partnership with cliexa, navigatER harnesses the power of digital health to drive patient outcomes in real-time.

navigatER provides a backstage pass for patients accessing emergency health care services. Learn more about this exciting new solution:

cliexa, a Colorado-based digital health company, acquired ProSkedge.com, an automated surgical scheduling platform. cliexa’s end-to-end virtual health platform offers integrated clinical intake, automated documentation and remote patient monitoring solutions tailored to practices in multiple-subspecialty settings. cliexa has partnered with American College of Cardiology co-developing cardiovascular home health monitoring solutions since 2018.

“With the acquisition of ProSkedge, cliexa’s focus on actionable, meaningful and impactful patient reported outcomes now extends to the pre-clinical care portion of healthcare delivery. The integration of scheduling care enhances the patient experience and removes historic hurdles.” – Dr. Gerald Maccioli, Chairman of Advisory Board at cliexa

ProSkedge has been designed and developed by Dr Lukasz Kowalczyk, practicing gastroenterologist with over 10 years of GI and procedure experience. ProSkedge simplifies, automates, and personalizes the scheduling process for clinics and patients. With this acquisition, cliexa-ProSkedge becomes a true end-to-end platform for clinics and health systems, offering solutions from onboarding to post-procedure monitoring to patients.

“Surgical care continues to grow at a high rate and COVID has pushed care out of hospitals and into higher value ASC’s. As cliexa enables the digital delivery of care across ambulatory clinic settings, ProSkedge adds that expertise into the ASC’s and the surgical space. cliexa now offers healthcare organizations a singular, comprehensive system for high value digital transformation across the entire patient journey.” said Dr. Kowalczyk, who is now a board member at cliexa and Chief Medical Officer for GI and Surgical Automation.

Dr. Kowalczyk added, “Colon cancer screening with colonoscopy is a great example of how we can improve the journey for the patient and practice.  New colon cancer screening guidelines drop the initial screening age to 45-49.  This patient demographic, consisting of about 20M people, has shown a higher demand to manage their healthcare through a digital medium like the cliexa-ProSkedge platform.”

The power of remote patient monitoring

There is limited data comparing remote post-discharge patient treatment to that of standard in-person care, but a new clinical trial has done exactly that.

This multicenter randomized control trial measured safety events, medication adjustment and left ventricular reverse remodeling outcomes.  The subjects were low-risk patients with acute myocardial infarction treated for 6 months after discharge by a centralized nurse practitioner–led telehealth program compared with standard in-person care by a cardiologist. There were no differences in achieved medication doses or indices of left ventricular remodeling.

This clinical trial set out to answer an important question for healthcare in a COVID and post-COVID landscape:

“Is remote post-discharge treatment of low-risk patients with acute myocardial infarction by a centralized nurse clinician team under physician supervision feasible and safe?”

The answer is: Absolutely. In fact, it’s both safe and effective.

What’s next?

Researchers now want to conduct a similar clinical trial with higher-risk patients, in an effort to further test the capabilities of remote intensive patient management and care. Read this impactful new study here:

cliexa-PULSE Home Health Monitoring Platform co-developed by cliexa and American College of Cardiology

“Imagine the ability to effectively capture RPM in the cardiology’s major disease states – HTN, CHF, CAD, and AFib in an easy-to-use-tool without all the data overload: Enter cliexa!” Dr. Andrew M. Freeman, MD – Director of Clinical Cardiology and Operations Director Cardiovascular Prevention & Wellness at National Jewish Health

Through the ACC Innovation Program with our partners at the American College of Cardiology (ACC), we have developed one of our latest modules, cliexa-PULSE to digitally transform and ultimately optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes. cliexa-PULSE is a mobile application designed for patients to track their symptoms, medications, episodes, complications and daily activity to manage Atrial Fibrillation providing real-time data to their clinicians. The expansion of cliexa-PULSE in 2021 will provide treatment tracking tools for patients with Hypertension, Congestive Heart Failure and Coronary Artery Disease, as well as launching a population health module. cliexa-PULSE is the ideal mobile app for clinicians to fully leverage patient-reported data, improving treatment decision-making and the overall patient experience.
