The first step in achieving Zero Preventable Harm is being able to identify preventable harms.

The Literature

There are two landmark studies: 25% of patients suffer harm during the course of their hospital stay. Of those that suffered harm, 28-40% are deemed preventable harms. Said differently, 7-10% of all patients experience preventable harm during the course of their hospital stay. 69% of patient harms are not entered into an organization's incident reporting system due to the harm event not being considered to be harm or capturing that type of harm isn't standard practice at the organization.

HarmScout Solution

HarmScout monitors the EHR with AI and a rules engine to identify unreported patient harm. HarmScout does 90% of the tedious work while allowing the final 10% to be reviewed by clinicians.

Step 1

Automated Medical
Record Monitoring

HarmScout continuously monitors patient records for all harm types. What would take clinicians thousands of hours to do manually, HarmScout does quietly in the background.

Step 2

Potential Harm Events Identified

HarmScout identifies potential unreported harm events. These occur in approximately 25% of all patient visits.

Step 3

Presentation to Risk Managers

Each potential harm event is presented to Risk Management with justification. Risk then determines the validity of the harm, and begins the investigation cycle if validated.
