Case Study: 923 Bed Medical Campus reduces harm rates with CipherHealth's CipherRounds

923 Bed Medical Campus reduces CAUTI harm rates by 30% with CipherHealth

A 923-bed medical campus, the only level one trauma center in Northern Virginia, sought to digitize its rounding process to improve patient safety. Their challenge was that a pen-and-paper system prevented access to real-time data and made it difficult to effectively close the loop on issues. To address this, they implemented CipherHealth's CipherRounds solution.

By using CipherHealth's CipherRounds for "360-degree" nurse leader rounds, the medical campus integrated safety bundle assessments into its workflow. This solution provided significant results, including a 30% reduction in CAUTI harm rates, a 51% reduction in CLABSI harm rates, and a 28% reduction in postoperative PE/DVT harm rates. The campus achieved an overall 37% reduction in total harm rates and was awarded an 'A' for safety from The Leapfrog Group.
