PraediAlert integrates directly with the hospital’s EHR and laboratory systems, including native support for VistA, CPRS, and additional systems such as PICIS. This direct integration enables real-time surveillance by ingesting data across medication orders, microbiology results, vitals, lab panels, diagnosis codes, and admission/discharge/transfer activity. The system does not rely on third-party data brokers or middleware, ensuring immediate visibility into patient activity without added complexity. This seamless integration allows for fully automated data flow, eliminating manual entry and reducing the risk of delays or transcription errors that could compromise patient safety or regulatory reporting.
PraediAlert is designed for near-real-time data capture across a wide spectrum of clinical sources. The platform continuously pulls structured and unstructured data from EHR, lab, pharmacy, and ancillary systems – including microbiology, medication orders, vitals, and provider notes – so that surveillance teams can act with confidence and immediacy. Unlike tools that rely on delayed batch processing, PraediAlert ensures that clinical alerts, dashboards, and reports are powered by the most current patient information available. Additionally, each deployment includes at least five years of historical data at go-live, enabling instant retrospective analysis, outbreak investigation, and trend benchmarking from day one.
PraediAlert supports a comprehensive library of clinical alerts designed to surface actionable information without contributing to alert fatigue. These include surveillance-focused alerts for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), as well as antimicrobial stewardship-specific alerts like drug-bug mismatches (DBMMs), renal dosing errors, duplicate therapies, and unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use. Alerts can be based on single data points or complex rule sets involving lab values, cultures, vitals, consult requests, progress notes, and pharmacy records. Each alert is visible within the platform’s intuitive dashboard and can be configured to match the communication preferences and triage protocols of the receiving team.
PraediAlert provides full customization of alerts, workflows, and reporting parameters to match local stewardship protocols, infection prevention policies, and institutional formularies. Users can define custom thresholds for lab values, select specific drug classes for surveillance, align alerts with internal clinical pathways, and modify notification rules based on unit type, patient cohort, or provider role. Facilities can also create localized, ward-specific and even specimen-specific antibiograms and incorporate them into rule logic. This flexibility ensures that PraediAlert doesn’t just monitor broadly – it monitors according to how your team practices, making it a valuable tool for both compliance and clinical alignment.
PraediAlert is purpose-built to support antimicrobial stewardship by detecting inappropriate therapy, prompting timely interventions, and documenting outcomes. Key capabilities include real-time alerts for duplicate therapies, extended durations, high-cost agents, restricted formulary violations, and dose adjustments based on renal function or body weight. The platform tracks intervention opportunities and outcomes, enabling pharmacists and ASP teams to document actions such as de-escalation, discontinuation, or consult recommendations directly within the system. PraediAlert also supports retrospective intervention reviews, allowing teams to identify systemic patterns, build intervention dashboards, and report on stewardship activity for P&T committees, quality departments, and accreditation bodies.
PraediAlert includes powerful tools for longitudinal tracking of antimicrobial usage and resistance patterns. The system automatically calculates Days of Therapy (DOT), identifies trends in antibiotic prescribing by drug class or indication, and maps these against facility-specific resistance patterns through built-in, CLSI-concordant antibiograms. Data can be stratified by ward, provider, pathogen, or time period, and visualized through interactive dashboards or exported to support external reporting. These features allow stewardship teams to monitor progress toward institutional goals, detect emerging resistance threats, and ensure alignment with regulatory benchmarks such as the CDC Core Elements and VA Directive 1031.
PraediAlert can be fully implemented in 90 days or less from contract execution, including site configuration, data integration, and user onboarding. Bitscopic’s deployment model includes hands-on configuration support, historical data import, and a phased rollout plan tailored to your team’s capacity. Each implementation includes custom training sessions for infection preventionists, pharmacists, and other personnel, along with access to user guides and an internal knowledgebase. Ongoing support is delivered by Bitscopic’s dedicated customer success team, including clinical subject matter experts (SME) and technical specialists who understand VA systems and workflows. Post-go-live, support is available via live helpdesk, ticketing portal, and regular contact with your assigned SME.
PraediAlert is built to scale across multi-site environments, including entire VISNs, regional health systems, and enterprise hospital networks. The platform supports centralized deployment with local configuration options allowing each facility to maintain its own alerts, dashboards, and user roles while contributing to unified VISN-wide reporting. Enterprise users can generate roll-up views of HAI rates, antimicrobial usage, and stewardship interventions across facilities without waiting for month-end data aggregation. This centralized architecture not only reduces duplication and costs but also enhances consistency, accountability, and coordination across infection control and stewardship teams operating in complex systems.
Yes, PraediAlert enables the generation of standardized and customizable reports to support a wide range of regulatory and institutional initiatives, including NHSN submission, CMS compliance, and internal ASP metrics. The platform includes templates for common reporting frameworks, such as antimicrobial utilization (AU), antimicrobial resistance (AR), infection rate trending, and CDC-defined event tracking. Users can automate routine reports, generate one-click exports for regulatory submission, and filter data by unit, provider, pathogen, or timeframe. These capabilities simplify compliance workflows while also enabling stewardship and quality teams to demonstrate measurable impact at both the facility and network levels.
Yes, PraediAlert includes tools to analyze provider-level prescribing behavior and support quality improvement initiatives. The platform can attribute antimicrobial orders, interventions, and alert overrides to individual prescribers, allowing stewardship teams to identify trends, outliers, and adherence to local guidelines. Dashboards can be configured to highlight usage patterns across time, specialties, or care settings, and reports can be exported for provider feedback, performance improvement programs, or academic detailing. This level of visibility supports data-driven interventions, peer comparisons, and outcome tracking – making it easier to close gaps, celebrate progress, and institutionalize best practices across departments.
