APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — ThedaCare has invested $3 million in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software for care operations automation.
ThedaCare says the investment in Qventus will enhance patient experience and outcomes, while improving access to inpatient and surgical care.
“Care operations automation solutions can help relieve some of the prime operational and financial pressures facing hospitals and health systems,” said Mark Thompson, ThedaCare Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. “As ThedaCare continues our commitment to reinventing health care, partnerships like this will speed up our vision of becoming a leader in population health, remaining focused on the patient, and empowering each person to live their unique, best life.”
As with many health care providers, ThedaCare faced operational challenges by the COVID-19 pandemic and is seeking new solutions that optimize clinical and operational resources and ease the burden on frontline teams. Qventus software can help ThedaCare by supporting automated discharge planning to get patients home safely, OR scheduling, system-wide patient flow and other operational activities.
Qventus will be integrated with ThedaCare’s electronic health records system to drive additional workflow efficiencies, reduce manual processes and deliver patient-level AI predictions to improve clinical decisions.
Patients can expect to see shorter lead times for surgeries, more timely discharges and improved transparency into their care progression, due to the enhanced automation at ThedaCare.
Care teams can benefit from less manual work, fewer back-and-forth phone calls, and an improved ability to consistently coordinate safe, on-time discharges.
