Case Study: Large International Health Network achieves 15% shorter ICU stays, 45% higher nurse efficiency and 80% fewer process oversights with Cognizant's cloud-based digital ICU solution

Count on the Digital ICU at Your Most Critical Hour

Cognizant partnered with a large international health network to tackle a critical problem in its intensive care units: paper-based charts and poor integration across hospital systems left caregivers with incomplete, often inaccurate data at the point of care, increasing risk and inefficiency during the most critical moments.

Cognizant embedded a research team in the ICU and built a cloud-based, tablet-enabled Digital ICU that aggregates EMR, labs, radiology and device data, monitors 150+ patient parameters, and delivers real-time, clinically guided inputs and automated alerts to caregivers and personal devices. The solution eliminated paper processes, reduced transfer gaps and errors, and drove measurable improvements: 15% shorter ICU stays, 45% higher nurse efficiency and an 80% reduction in human oversights of standard processes.
