The Challenges of Delivering Quality Patient Care in the ED
- Navigating non-integrated sources of data
- Data overload and click fatigue
- Inability to view and understand the entire patient context
- Lack of clarity surrounding patient prioritization
- Lack of clinical decision support in a busy environment
- Delays in care escalation

Connecting InsightIQ – Emergency
InsightIQ: A clinical intelligence platform providing continuous patient monitoring, enabling clinicians to focus on the most critical patients for early intervention. It embeds actionable intelligence into the visual workflow that allows care teams to increase compliance with established protocols. InsightIQ can be accessible anywhere via your hospital’s web browser – handhelds, desktop, WOW, or bedside monitors.
The Power of InsightIQ™
Digitized Protocols and Dashboards Across the Care Spectrum
This view—typically the landing page for clinicians—displays data for all patient beds within the unit.
- The Unit surveillance view continuously surveils the unit’s patients and highlights the those who may be at greatest risk for deterioration (highlighted as red or yellow).
- This dashboard shows a typical 29-bed ED with three patients that require urgent attention. Using this view, the care team can focus immediate attention to those patients at-risk.
- Clicking on any of the “tiles” will take the clinician to a detailed view of the Patient’s status and condition.
Smart alerting, early warning scoring and stroke timers can lead to earlier recognition of adverse events, prompt intervention, and improved compliance.
- Helps clinicians to prioritize attention to those patients with immediate need
- Color coding of results, vitals, and protocol status.
- Stroke timers, initiated once a CT Scan order is placed, help guide the care team to prompt tPA administration
The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) identifies potential deteriorating patients at increased risk of ICU admission, cardiac arrest, or death within 24 hours.
- Misidentification of illness severity may lead to patients being admitted to an acute care unit then unexpectedly transferring to an ICU as their condition deteriorates
- These events result in in an increased need for ventilator support, increase in- hospital 30-day mortality. And prolonged LOS
Dashboards have the ability to display an expanded view of vitals, labs or chemistry value trends.
Additionally, the expanded gives the clinicians the ability to view both active and recently discontinued medication administration details – including status, dosage, admin time as well as the possible effects of medications – superimposed on those trend lines.
Clicking on one or more medications will instantly plot the medication administration time vs. the vital signs trend. This view can also be used to confirm the medication compliance status

Methodology: From written protocol to digitized workflow
InsightIQ uses no proprietary algorithms. We start with peer-reviewed protocols, bundles of care, and Early Warning Scores that are easily configurable for your hospital specific workflows, data values, and thresholds – configurable for each specific unit and patient population. All standards of care and indicators are implemented in accordance with facility approved protocols.
Our Early warning scoring algorithms utilize algorithms to calculate a patient’s risk of deterioration based on their vital signs – such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. The scores are then used to alert healthcare providers of potential risks and to trigger interventions to prevent further deterioration.
