Case Study: Aultman Hospital reduces antibiotic spend with Wolters Kluwer Sentri7

Aultman Hospital - Customer Case Study

Aultman Hospital, a 1,032-bed not-for-profit academic hospital system in Ohio, needed help launching an antimicrobial stewardship program and improving pharmacy-led clinical outcomes while reducing rising drug costs. The hospital turned to Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions for support with a clinical surveillance approach that could integrate with its pharmacy workflow, use EHR data more effectively, and replace manual processes with faster, more targeted patient monitoring.

Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions implemented Sentri7 clinical surveillance, enabling real-time alerts, antimicrobial stewardship rules, and centralized dashboards to help pharmacists prioritize patients and collaborate more closely with physicians. The results included an approximately 95% physician acceptance rate for stewardship interventions and nearly $2 million saved over five years through reduced use, shorter therapy duration, and therapy changes that improved patient outcomes.
