System Aids Quick Decisions for Clinicians, Provides More Time with Patients

Published in Restore - Summer 2016

A new clinical decision support tool at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center prioritizes inpatients needing physical and occupational therapy in real time. Each therapist using the system saves 20 minutes a day, while therapy coordinators save 150 minutes a day—valuable time that now goes toward high-priority patients.
