Increase efficiency during the busy workday, easy access to EBM articles, eliminate "pimping", allowing program-wide standardization of medication regimens + protocols chosen by team attending, decrease keystrokes
Standardize assessment/plans shared across medical teams, easier supervision of treatment plans, decrease resident error, improve control over attending liability, faster rounding + documentation
“Physician error in the hospital setting is responsible for 400,000 US deaths and between 4 to 8 million injuries yearly.”
Journal of Patient Safety
We believe that increased EMR/computer task fatigue is a major contributor to Physician Fatigue and Burnout, leading to error in the hospital and clinic setting.
According to a study by David and Kaplan there are approximately 1 million hospital-based medical error injuries yearly in the United States. Extrapolated to SCPMG, the largest healthcare provider in Southern California with 4.7 million members, this could amount to 14100 medical errors at a cost of $13,239,900/year. Cautiously estimating a 5-10% reduction in hospital-based error using Phrasefire suggests a savings of 705- 1410 errors/year and $661,995 - 1,323,990 saved annually in this single system.
21.5 minutes saved every 10 patients admitted
= 2.7 days saved per year
Use of this program requires that the user is a qualified medical professional defined as a board certified, licensed medical doctor. A student or resident may use the program only under direct attending supervision. The user assumes all risks associated with patient care. All default treatment plans included are generalized and are not specific to the patient. They are not suggestions on how specific patients should be treated. Users must customize and create assessment/plans tailored to their specific patients.
