Informatics CIS places
innovation and the inclusion of advanced features at the
heart of its development and product ethos.
The inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) is designed
to improve and enhance the experience of the software user
whilst offering powerful functionality, such as:
- Automatic calculation
of basic but time-consuming clinical indicators such as
Body Mass Index (BMI) and mean arterial pressure
- Decision support such
as indicators to suggest when a test or investigation
may or may not be necessary, based on published and peer-reviewed
research and national guidelines
Smart navigation and routing
mean that only relevant questions are asked and that all
relevant questions are asked. Patients' answers are used
by the system to alert clinicians to the possible need for
further investigations.
Many items can be filled
in automatically via interfaces to other IT systems. It
is also possible to customise questionnaires to meet local
needs and to reflect the requirements of different specialties.
The key intelligence of
Synopsis IQ™ is a sophisticated predictive model which
allows it to identify and score clinical risks automatically.
Thus a patient who
is considered, for example, a high risk for PONV or MI is
identified by the system with an indication of the severity
of the risk. Synopsis IQ™ is then able to suggest appropriate
strategies to manage the risks in the optimum way. The preoperative
assessment, risk scores and recommended strategies are summarised
in a single document that can be viewed and printed easily.
When linked to a surgical
scheduling system Synopsis IQ™ can also provide unprecedented
accuracy in estimates of surgery duration.
The predictive model makes
use of published algorithms for risk scoring, but a major
additional strength
is its ability to derive new predictive functions by "mining"
historical data.
It uses conventional regression
techniques to identify variables which have a significant
relationship to a given outcome but then manipulates these
using genetic algorithms to achieve a new level of predictive
accuracy.
It is able to track changes
in relationships and adapt the model accordingly making
it possible to tailor the system to practice in an individual
hospital or hospital group.
Synopsis IQ™ combines
a flexible and powerful preoperative assessment with advanced
artificial intelligence to provide complete risk scoring
and strategy management.
