Leading U.S. Health Systems Win Rothman Index Awards for Outstanding Clinical and Financial Improvement


PeraHealth has announced the 2019 Rothman Index Award winners, bestowing the honors on hospitals and individuals who have used the Rothman Index to improve clinical outcomes, implement innovative technology applications, and author peer-reviewed publications. PeraHealth presented the awards as a Day 1 finale for the TRENDS 2019 Rothman Index Customer Conference in Baltimore on September 26.

The Rothman Index is the only algorithm that derives one simple score from the vast amount of data in the electronic medical record to create a picture of any patient's condition over time - any age, any disease, any unit. It is the only algorithm proven to reduce mortality in practice, and serves as a simple, common language across care transitions.
