  • Bainbridge Health is partnering with South Shore Health, a leading provider of emergency, acute and outpatient care, to enhance its efforts to improve safety and reduce medication waste.

     

    Philadelphia, PA 2019: Bainbridge Health, a spin-off company of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is excited to announce its implementation of the company’s Med O.S.® safety and stewardship solution at South Shore Health. Through the agreement, Bainbridge Health will support the Weymouth, Massachusetts based health system in their effort to improve safety, reduce cost and improve clinician efficiency.

     

    South Shore Health is the largest independent health system in Southeastern Massachusetts. The organization’s South Shore Hospital, is consistently recognized for quality of care–including being recognized as a Top General Hospital by the Leapfrog Group. It has been recognized as part of the American Nurse Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program, which honors healthcare organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing services—a distinction only eight percent of US hospitals achieve.

     

    “Actionable data is what every change agent in an organization craves,” said Kristopher Young, Chief Pharmacy Officer at South Shore Health. “We feel strongly that Bainbridge Health is the perfect partner to help us better and more efficiently utilize our medication data to improve outcomes.”

     

    “Bainbridge Health is committed to helping health systems unlock the full value of their medication data,'' said Joseph Kaupp, CEO of Bainbridge Health. “We are extremely excited to partner with South Shore Health to accelerate their efforts to leverage data to improve safety and reduce cost. Removing the “data-clerking” burden from clinicians is an essential milestone on the path toward an optimal medication safety and stewardship program, and we are delighted to include South Shore Health in our network of organizations who share our goal of making medication use safer and more efficient.”

     

    Medication is one of the most complex, costly and dangerous things in the hospital. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that medication errors lead to at least one death every day and injure more than 1.3 million people annually in the United States alone. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently added medication errors to its “hit list” and estimates the cost of medication errors to be $42 billion globally.

  • Bainbridge Health is partnering with Nemours Children’s Hospital to further support the system’s efforts to improve medication and infusion pump safety.

     

    Philadelphia, PA 2019: Bainbridge Health, a spin-off company of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is excited to announce its implementation of their infusion pump safety solution at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, FL. Through the agreement, Bainbridge Health will support Nemours Children’s Hospital in their effort to improve safety, reduce cost and streamline clinician efficiency. 

     

    Nemours began more than 80 years ago, with a mission to restore and improve the health of children through quality care. Today, the system directly cares for 410,000 children annually from the Delaware Valley to Florida, and including families who travel from across the country and world for quality healthcare. Nemours promises to care for every child as their own. The systems’ hospitals are continually recognized among the top 5 percent of children’s health systems in the country.

    “We are incredibly excited to be expanding our partnership with Nemours. Having worked with Nemours for more than 3 years, we have been privileged to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from one of the leading pediatric providers in the United States,” said Joseph Kaupp, CEO of Bainbridge Health. “As medication use data becomes more centralized, we can begin to more effectively share best-practices and learn important lessons from one another.”

     

    According to the Food & Drug Administration, more than 2 million people are harmed by medication errors annually in the U.S. alone. Inpatient medication errors are a significant driver of patient harm, and infusion pumps remain the technology most associated with errors. Such errors have been shown to double the length of hospital stays on average, and the cost per incident is now estimated to exceed $7,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently added medication errors to its “hit list” and estimates the cost of medication errors to be $42 billion globally.

  • Bainbridge Health, provider of the Med O.S.® Platform for medication safety and stewardship, convened its Clinical Advisory Board and national safety experts to discuss the emerging lessons of electronic health record and smart infusion pump interoperability. The advisory board worked towards further development of data analytics protocols for smart pump interoperability. A summary from the Clinical Advisory Board meeting can be found on the company's website.

    Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Smart Infusion Pump Interoperability is designed to streamline the medication administration process and improve outcomes by bi-directionally exchanging data between the two systems. The goal is to reduce manual programming steps and automate documentation. It is estimated that approximately 5% - 7% of hospitals have completed an EHR - smart infusion pump interoperability implementation.

    “This medication safety advancement requires new methodologies for extracting, merging and analyzing disparate datasets in order to longitudinally monitor safety, practice and compliance,” said Sean O’Neill, Chief Clinical Officer of Bainbridge Health. “To get a strong return on investment, it is essential to have a data strategy before going into the project. Appropriate process and outcome metrics, coupled with robust data tools to monitor the efficacy of the technology are at the heart of a successful technology upgrade.”

    The Bainbridge Health Clinical Advisory Board discussed new data management strategies and key performance indicators that will help clinicians effectively combine and utilize medication administration data from the EHR and smart infusion pumps. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the safety and stewardship of medications. Findings from the Clinical Advisory Board can be found in the White Paper: Themes, Dreams & Data Schemes: A Review of Electronic Health Record and Smart Infusion Pump Interoperability Trends.
