The JSS Hospital in Mysuru has introduced new software as a tool to reduce human errors in the treatment of patients under critical care.
This is a collaborative programme with Mayo Clinic, Rochester, U.S., and JSS University, Mysuru, and is being used in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. A release said the tool is called CERTAIN (Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness and Injury).
Ravi, Director, JSS Hospital, said the software creates algorithm syndromes based on physical findings, patients’ history, laboratory studies and images and makes suggestions for actions or decisions.
“CERTAIN is an easy-to-use support tool for decision making in treating patients in ICUs, regardless of the resources at hand.” It facilitates the delivery of appropriate practices in the best possible manner, thereby reducing the occurrence of complications in critically ill patients, the release claimed.
