How It Works
From Data to Action in Real Time
One continuous pipeline — from EHR data to a bedside alert — built to fit inside the systems and workflows your hospital already runs.
The Pipeline
One Data Flow, Four Stages
Continuous data over HL7 FHIR from your existing systems.
Every pillar's risk band updates as new data arrives.
Band changes route inside the EHR to the right care team.
Clinical response and outcomes refine the model over time.
1. Ingest
Prescient connects to your EHR over HL7 FHIR to continuously ingest vitals, labs, medication administration, and clinical notes — without requiring a separate system of record or duplicate data entry from clinical staff.
- HL7 FHIR-based integration works alongside Epic, Cerner, and other major EHRs
- Streams update continuously, not on a batch/nightly schedule
- No new charting workflow for bedside staff
2. Score
Every patient is continuously scored across the relevant risk pillars — sepsis and deterioration, advanced illness, and AMR — and reported on a standardized four-band scale so risk is comparable across units and conditions.
- Low (0–39) · Moderate (40–64) · High (65–84) · Critical (85–100)
- Scores update as new data arrives, not on a fixed interval
- Each score is paired with the contributing factors behind it
3. Alert
When a patient's risk band changes, the alert routes to the clinician and team already responsible for that patient — inside the workflow they use today, not a separate dashboard to check.
- Escalation rules configured per unit and per care team
- Alerts explain why the score changed, not just that it did
- Designed to reduce alert fatigue by routing only meaningful band changes
4. Act & Learn
Clinical response and downstream outcomes feed back into the platform, so scoring is continuously refined against your own patient population rather than a static, one-time-trained model.
- Deployment-specific calibration against each system's own outcome data
- Ongoing review with clinical and quality leadership
- Model performance tracked against agreed clinical and operational metrics
