METRIC Awards
METRIC is a recipient of the 2012 Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Health Care Innovation Award, Patient Centered Cloud-based Electronic System: Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation (ProCCESs AWARE).
Project summary: The Mayo Clinic, in collaboration with US Critical Illness and Injury Trials Group and Philips Research North America, is receiving an award to improve critical care performance for Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries in intensive care units (ICUs).
Data shows that 27% of such Medicare beneficiaries face preventable treatment errors due to information overload among ICU providers. The Mayo Clinic model will enhance effective use of data using a Cloud-based system that combines a centralized data repository with electronic surveillance and quality measurement of care responses.
As a result, Mayo expects to reduce ICU complications and costs. Over a three-year period, the Mayo Clinic will train 1,440 existing ICU caregivers in four diverse hospital systems to use new health information technologies effectively in managing ICU patient care.
