St. Joseph Health goes for real-time data analytics with Clearsense Surveillance
St. Joseph Health announced that it will deploy a real-time analytics platform from Clearsense.
The analytics suite is expected to provide the health system with real-time views of patient conditions and condition changes to enable early detection and prevention. For example, streaming data from monitors, ventilators and other biomedical devices can allow clinicians to stay one step ahead of sepsis and other serious conditions.
Clearsense’s platform is also expected to enable clinicians to better monitor quality measures, collect data from at-home devices and alert clinicians to health issues, making it possible clinicians to intervene earlier and reduce readmissions.

St. Joseph CIO Bill Russell said that implementing analytics will enable the Irvine, California-based not-for-profit 16-hospital integrated healthcare system to ultimately improve care quality while reducing both cost and risk.
"St. Joseph Health recognizes that our communities’ healthcare needs are changing, which prompted us to look at ways to stay ahead of these needs by harnessing the power of data,” Russell, who is also on Clearsense’s advisory board, said in a statement.
To that end, the health system will pilot Clearsense Surveillance technology beginning this fall.
