Big Data Assists in Healthcare

Baptist Health South Florida http://BaptistHealth.net is collaborating with Leidos www.leidos.com to revolutionize the delivery of care. The collaboration will pilot the industry’s first real-time data integration, mobile monitoring, and patient activation suite to help patients and caregivers obtain up-to-the-minute data.

Baptist Health will be adding real-time monitoring of the patient’s journey from their home through various sites of care and then back to the home. This care will include diagnosis, treatment, and recovery by using the data to help provide treatment options and information on coordinating care.

This will be accomplished since Leidos will provide the next generation of their care coordination with a system referred to as “careC2 Pathways”™. The system will provide Baptist Health with a single real-time view of the patient as the patient moves through the steps of treatment and recovery.

The Leidos software enables the health team to immediately recognize changes in the patient’s status, clinical conditions, and delays in prescribing treatment. At this point, the team is quickly able to adjust the care delivery plan accordingly. Integral to the program is a big-data analytics platform that integrates all prescribed data and makes it available at decision points as needed.

According to Jack Ziffer, PhD, M.D, Executive VP and CMO at Baptist Health. “We are using all of our medical expertise, data analytics, and real-time insights to ensure that the patient’s treatment plans are ideally suited to each individual needs.”

Over the next five years, Leidos and Baptist Health will collaborate on more than thirty new clinical pathways to treat the most complex conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, joint replacement, plus many other conditions.

Matt Vaughan Senior Vice President, for Health Products & Solutions at Leidos, reports, “Baptist Health South Florida now has access to advance technologies and deep systems integration capabilities originally developed to meet the challenges to protect our nation’s security, civil, and health markets.”
