Case Study: a large pediatric hospital improves patient safety and reduces drug spend with Wolters Kluwer Sentri7

Large Pediatric Hospital Practices to Improve Patient Safety & Performance

A leading clinical pharmacy services provider, a large pediatric hospital on the East Coast, faced the challenge of strengthening the connection between its patient safety initiatives and the frontline pharmacy's contributions. Driven by regulatory mandates, their goal was to make the pharmacy's impact on patient safety and cost savings more transparent and measurable. To address this, they turned to Wolters Kluwer and its Sentri7 clinical surveillance solution.

Wolters Kluwer implemented Sentri7, which provided a turnkey, evidence-based library of rules to support key initiatives like the antimicrobial stewardship program. The solution enabled the hospital to document interventions, create performance reports, and deploy a dashboard for pharmacists. This led to significant results, including a 30% reduction in vancomycin use, a 123% increase in pharmacist dose evaluations, and over $1.2 million in documented hard-cost savings within the first year, improving both patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
