Case Study: Goshen Health achieves better sepsis outcomes with Inovalon VigiLanz Quality Management

Goshen Health improves SEP-1 compliance by 11% with Inovalon

Goshen Health, an independent community health system, faced a significant challenge in promptly identifying and treating sepsis, a leading cause of hospital deaths. Their reliance on manual chart reviews was inefficient, error-prone, and delayed critical care. To address this, they partnered with Inovalon and implemented its VigiLanz Quality Management solution for near real-time surveillance.

The solution from Inovalon used rule-based AI to generate highly accurate alerts for potentially septic patients directly from EHR data. This enabled Goshen Health to refine its response workflow, significantly improving the speed and consistency of care. The results included an 11% improvement in SEP-1 compliance, a nearly three-day reduction in length of stay for septic shock patients, and periods with zero severe sepsis-related mortality, all while saving nurses hours of manual screening each day.
