Without an accurate means to predict the risk of renal failures, many patients are over treated, while other patients may be undertreated. This is changing since the company Viewics, provides hospitals and health systems with laboratory driven solutions for advanced analytics.
Recently, Viewics http://viewics.com announced the availability of their developed “Viewics CKD Management™” www.renalrisk.com a suite of analytics using globally validated algorithms to accurately predict Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and the patient’s risk of end stage renal disease.
The data is designed to provide primary care providers, nephrologists, and healthcare administrators with solutions for optimizing CKD patient care pathways. The information can enable ACOs, health systems, payers, and dialysis providers to give better care and improve outcomes while realizing substantial cost savings.
The CKD Management suite comprises a laboratory and EMR integration platform, personalized risk prediction for renal failure, automated and integrated care management recommendations for physicians, along with customized patient education reports.
Viewics uses proprietary data extraction and cleansing technologies to transform raw laboratory and demographic data into a single patient risk score which will help develop protocol recommendations to be disseminated to providers in the form of dashboards.
“Since ACOs and health systems increasingly adopt advanced analytics solutions, it makes sense to think about how they can leverage their readily available laboratory data and make it available for predictive analytics and population health management,” commented Dhiren Bhatia, CEO and Co-Founder of Viewics.
According to Viewics Chief Medical Informatics Officer Eleanor Herriman, MD, “We estimate that by using the Viewics system, an organization can generate about $2 million in savings for a population of 25,000 lives.”
