Case Study: Saratoga Hospital reduces 30-day readmissions with Iatric Systems Visual SmartBoard

Saratoga Hospital reduces 30-day readmissions with Iatric Systems Visual SmartBoard

Saratoga Hospital faced the challenge of complying with the CMS Readmissions Reduction Program and reducing the number of patients returning within 30 days of discharge. To address this, they partnered with vendor Iatric Systems and implemented their Visual SmartBoard solution, which presents key, real-time clinical data on a single customizable screen.

The solution from Iatric Systems provided real-time visibility into patient care, including specialized SmartBoards to identify and monitor high-risk patients from the ED through their inpatient stay. This dramatically changed hospital workflows and led to a significant drop in 30-day readmissions. The success of the initial SmartBoards led to their rollout for pharmacy, central line, dietary, infection control, and other functions throughout the hospital.
