BITSCOPIC PRAEDIALERT advanced clinical decision support tool helps clinicians,  pharmacists, infection preventionists and quality management staff improve patient outcomes by analyzing HIGH RESOLUTION real-time data to help identify emerging threats, alerting for time-critical interventions and optimizing daily workflow to effectively and efficiently improve care for our Veterans Health Administration customers. 

In the complex landscape of healthcare, where patient data is often scattered across multiple systems, PraediAlert emerges as a beacon of clarity. Our advanced integration capabilities ensure that crucial patient information from hospital electronic medical records (EMR) and ancillary clinical datasets are brought together seamlessly. By consolidating data from diverse sources, PraediAlert delivers a unified view of patient health, improving data completeness and reliability.

Bitscopic’s platform is set up with the ability to integrate data from various non-VistA sources (for instance, ICU vital signs) in addition to VistA data from encounters at any VA facility nationwide (e.g., laboratory results, pharmacy, diagnosis codes, progress notes, radiology reports, and more). It can also import relevant surveillance designations or interventions data from your existing clinical surveillance system.

At Go-Live, PraediAlert provides at least five years of historical data, enabling immediate and accurate trend analysis. This historical perspective is crucial for identifying antimicrobial resistance rates, tracking healthcare acquired infection (HAI) and multidrug resistance organism (MDRO) rates, and analyzing respiratory viral data including COVID-19 data from the onset of the pandemic to present. This data is also essential for retrospective epidemiological  investigations as it provides historical context to the issue at hand.

For infection control practitioners, PraediAlert optimizes HAI, MDRO, respiratory virus, and reportable disease surveillance, alerting, and reporting in real-time. This includes the ability to conduct surgical site infection and infectious disease outbreak surveillance in monitoring modules, identify foley catheters and central lines using natural language processing (NLP), and the ability to record and report process surveillance such as hand hygiene and transmission-based precaution observations. 

For antimicrobial stewardship/ infectious diseases programs, PraediAlert streamlines tracking antimicrobial usage (DOT), real-time customizable alerts, intervention reporting/tracking, adherence monitoring, and creating antibiograms in seconds. Consult rounding tools, outpatient antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) monitoring, and HIV PReP adherence tools are additional services worth mentioning. 

For pharmacists and clinicians working in non ID related areas, PRAEDIALERT can access critical data and analytics so front-line staff can quickly assess and respond in areas such as anticoagulation monitoring, pharmacokinetics, emergency department lab/culture followup, inpatient rounding tools for ICU and internal medicine, and quality improvement/research projects. 

For all users, it identifies early intervention opportunities to improve clinical outcomes, achieve operational goals, and meet cost-reduction initiatives that can be used for customizable ad-hoc alerts, reports, and monitoring modules suited to your surveillance needs. Praedialert is also designed so that the user has very little need to toggle between the software and the EMR.  Subject matter experts in Infection Prevention and Infectious Diseases with over 40 years of VA experience will provide each site with personalized attention while continuously working to improve and provide a product that works best for our customers
