Importance Of Quality And Data To Improve Patient Outcomes

December 7, 2022

Sevaro enhances patient care with telestroke/teleneurology.

Although telemedicine has been used for decades, medical professionals are still researching the best ways to utilize it to improve patient outcomes. One company that has been at the forefront of innovating new technologies in this area is Sevaro. Their data-driven approach allows them to provide personalized care for each patient via a data-driven approach. This article will focus on how quality and data are improving patient outcomes, and how Sevaro has risen to the challenge.

The Value of Quality & Data in Healthcare

Quality is the foundation for all healthcare. Without high-quality and accessible care, patients will not be able to access optimal treatment options, leading to worse outcomes and increased costs. The movement towards using data to improve quality began in the 1960s when electronic medical records were introduced to share information among providers. Since then, we have seen this idea evolve into an entire industry; pioneering companies like Sevaro have made it their mission to improve patient outcomes through better coordination of services, the use of data and analytics, and advanced technologies such as OneCall and Sevaro Synapse.

How a Data-Driven Approach Helps Improve Patient Outcomes

One of the best ways to improve patient outcomes is through enhanced coordination. By combining data from different aspects of patient care like monitoring devices and patient recordings, healthcare providers can monitor symptoms much more effectively to provide faster treatment. This is especially important in cases that require patients to be hospitalized, where it can literally mean the difference between life and death.

The rise of technology has provided significantly more opportunities for people living in their homes.

The rise of technology has provided a lot more opportunities for people living at home to be monitored and cared for in a way that was not possible before. This has been especially helpful for people living with chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, diabetes, and others. These conditions can have symptoms that change rapidly, making it challenging to monitor them. Sevaro can help hospitals use data from different sources to better understand the overall health of these patients to provide efficient and tailored care.

How quality and data enhance healthcare industry operations

There are a lot of benefits to improving quality and data in healthcare. The most obvious benefit is that it helps patients by providing them with faster care when they urgently need it, thus increasing their chances of survival, but there are other ways this idea benefits all involved, including:

  • The patient-provider relationship becomes more efficient since providers have access to more comprehensive information about the individual’s health history, making it easier to provide personalized treatment plans based on what has worked best in the past.
  • Providers will spend less time going over medical records, which means they will be able to see a larger volume of patients per day, increasing efficiency while also decreasing costs due to lower overhead expenses from having fewer staff members required at any given time.
  • The overall cost of healthcare can be reduced when unnecessary testing or services are avoided. Not only does this reduce the amount that patients have to pay, but it reduces costs for insurance companies and providers as well, which in turn can lower premiums and fees across the board, making care more accessible for everyone involved.

Sevaro’s data-driven telestroke model/evidence-based stroke care

Sevaro can provide optimal care for stroke patients through their evidence-based, data-driven model.

Using Sevaro’s OneCall program, ED staff can connect with seasoned, boarded vascular neurologists in under 45 seconds, which are available to help actively treat patients in coordination with staff at the partner hospital. Depending on the patient’s symptoms these neurologists, who are credentialed and privileged at the hospital, may suggest treatment options, including using tPA or TNK (tenecteplase) to increase the chances of survival.

This model also helps improve quality since every physician has access to a vascular neurologist’s expertise in order to make the best possible decisions regarding providing care.

In addition, Sevaro is also introducing their stroke data capture and analytics platform called Sevaro Synapse. This platform captures metrics and data points in real-time by vascular neurologists. The platform allows stroke programs to pull data instantaneously, and this data can pinpoint areas of improvement for the program.

Sevaro: Improving Patient Outcomes

Sevaro can help optimize patient outcomes by providing them with enhanced care through their data-driven telestroke/teleneurology model. This evidence-based stroke model allows our Sevaro vascular neurologists to work in concert with the hospital ED staff to work together to make more informed decisions about how best to treat a condition which can ultimately lead to an increased chance of survival.

The effects of strokes can be devastating. Stroke is the #1 cause of disability and #5 cause of death in the United States. Stroke treatment is highly time-sensitive, but Sevaro can help patients receive the treatment they need in minimal time, thanks to innovations, like OneCall and Synapse. If you’re looking to enhance neurology services, stroke patient outcomes, and reduce patient transfers, consider choosing Sevaro as your trusted hospital partner.

Raising Stroke Awareness On World Stroke Day

October 7, 2022

World Stroke Day is a day when we can come together and raise stroke awareness. At Sevaro, we are dedicated to educating the public about stroke awareness and affecting more positive patient outcomes through data-driven teleneurology.

Factors Contributing to Stroke

Many factors contribute to having a stroke. The most common factor is age. Other risk factors include a family history of strokes or diabetes (which can cause cardiovascular issues).

Symptoms of a Stroke

There are a few key symptoms you can look for if you think someone is having a stroke. The most common one is paralysis or weakness in the face, arm, and leg. They might also have slurred speech or confusion that doesn’t alleviate quickly. If someone experiences any of these symptoms, then immediately dial 911.

A good acronym to remember is BE-FAST, which stands for:

B – Balance

Check to make sure they can stand and walk. If there are significant issues with either, then call 911 immediately.

E – Eyes

Do their eyes look uneven or asymmetrical? This could indicate neurological impairment.

F – Face

Has their face drooped on one side since you’ve seen them last? Does it drop when they try to smile or speak? This can mean something is wrong with facial muscles, so get medical attention as soon as possible if this happens.

A – Arm

Do they have any noticeable arm or leg weakness or numbness? If you ask them to lift their arms, notice if one arm drifts downward.

S – Speech

Is speech slurred at all? Are they having trouble speaking normally, even though body movements appear fine (i.e., they can walk and stand perfectly)? This could be a sign of impaired speech, which is critical to pay attention to because the person might appear fine otherwise.

T – Time

Have someone call 911 right away instead of waiting, especially if this has happened more than once in the past. The faster medical professionals know what’s going on and can initiate treatment, the better chance the patient will survive and have fewer long-term side effects.

Stroke Treatment

There are many different treatments for strokes, but the most common is an injection of tPA medication into a vein. tPA stands for tissue plasminogen activator, and it is the only stroke treatment that breaks up clots in the brain that are negatively affecting blood flow to certain parts of the brain.

Recovery From Stroke

Even if the patient survives a stroke, they may have long-lasting problems with their brain for months or even years after it happens. Not every patient’s recovery journey is alike, so this is why medical professionals will recommend physical therapy and other forms of rehabilitation to help them get back on track as quickly as possible.

Some top recovery options for stroke survivors include:

Physical Therapy

This might include walking, using specific muscles or limbs that have been affected by the stroke, and working on strengthening their balance.

Occupational Therapy

Occupation therapists can help stroke survivors restore their ability to perform daily functions, such as grooming, cooking, and doing household chores. Repetitive activities help the survivor relearn how to conduct necessary tasks. An occupational therapist might break up the task into smaller activities and repeat each one, then, the survivor will perform the entire task in sequence.

Speech Therapy

Another option is speech therapy, where patients go through different exercises designed specifically for helping stroke patients restore communication skills.

Home Care

Hospitals and rehab centers can be costly, which is why many patients will prefer to go home after they’ve been discharged. This might mean having family members or friends help take care of them until they’re able to do specific activities of daily living (like feeding, dressing, and bathing themselves). Some professionals come into the patient’s home for a few hours each day to make sure nothing gets overlooked as far as medical needs go, while someone else could cover basic things like keeping the house clean and cooking meals if necessary.

Why Your Hospital Should Partner With Sevaro

Sevaro offers evidence-based telemedicine and, more specifically, telestroke services that help connect patients with a vascular neurologist within 45 seconds. Since strokes can kill 1.9 million neurons per minute and are the number one cause of disability among American adults, getting the best possible treatment as fast as possible is essential.

Sevaro: A Company Founded And Led By Vascular Neurologists

September 7, 2022

When your hospital partners with external care providers, you want to ensure that those providers have experience with the problems you face day in, day out.

Sevaro is revolutionizing the telemedicine field with true teleneurology and unprecedented connection times to a dedicated vascular neurologist.

That service comes with the peace of mind that Sevaro is a company developed by physicians, for physicians, with a full understanding of the pressures and demands of caring for patients with a broad range of neurological conditions.

How Sevaro Started

Becky Toney RN, BSN, SCRN, is the Director of Clinical Quality at Sevaro, a company name derived from the Sanskrit words for “selfless service”. Becky remembers that originally, telestroke services worked through a standard call center; messages were passed between the emergency room and the neurologist.

She recognized that this process wasted precious time.

For a stroke patient, literally every second counts. Each minute during a stroke, an AIS patient is losing roughly 2 million neurons until they receive treatment. According to the CDC, nearly 800,000 people suffer a stroke each year in the United States. 87% of these are ischemic strokes, which means blood flow to the brain has been blocked, and the brain is beginning to die.

Changing from the industry standard call center model to Sevaro’s proprietary OneCall technology means a hospital can connect with a vascular neurologist within 45 seconds. Improving patient outcomes is at the heart of everything Sevaro does, thanks to physicians and other clinicians devoted solely to neurology being at the helm.

An Evidence-Based Telestroke Model

We know that not all hospitals have adequate facilities or onsite vascular neurologists to deal with acute stroke patients. We also know that every second a patient goes without treatment is a risk of serious disability or death. That’s why our physician-led team created the emergent stroke care telemedicine solution, OneCall.

Unlike other telemedicine services that rely on messages passed from agent to agent, OneCall connects emergency responders directly with a seasoned, boarded vascular neurologist. Combine this with inpatient follow-up, physical therapy, outpatient follow-up clinics, and a full support program called My Stroke Journey, and this is a telestroke model that truly puts patients first.

Sevaro: Founded by Vascular Neurologists

Neurologists understand the impact a stroke has on the brain. During a stroke or transient attack (TIA), the brain ages 3.6 years every hour without treatment. This damaged and dying brain tissue cannot be recovered. This statistic is what drives Sevaro’s team to constantly innovate and improve the time-to-treatment.

For example, by thoroughly understanding every aspect of the workflows and through years of experience with thousands of acute neurology patients, Sevaro has been able to reduce the average time for a patient to receive tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) from 46 minutes to 23 minutes.

Employees at Sevaro have worked at over 100 hospitals, many of them in dedicated stroke care environments. They all understand that every second counts when dealing with stroke patients – but also the importance of compassionate care and understanding the unique needs of each individual patient.

Sevaro’s physicians are all boarded vascular neurologists with extensive on-the-ground experience. This allows them to support not only stroke patients but those complex and critical neurological conditions such as those caused by meningitis or cranial hemorrhages. These expert physicians can also assess EEG readings and provide remote interpretations.

Sevaro’s Culture

The company culture at Sevaro helps drive the innovation and excellence in service their partners have come to rely on. Weekly meetings help the team bond and reinforce the company core values of:

  • Integrity
  • Patient First
  • Innovation
  • Stewardship
  • Gratitude
  • High Touch and High Tech

Choose Sevaro as your trusted hospital partner, helping you enhance your stroke care and save time, save brain, and save lives.

Telestroke Experts Launch Sevaro OneCall to Connect EDs to Neurologists within 45 seconds

September 6, 2022

Sevaro in the news

Sevaro Health, a leader in telestroke and teleneurology, continues to disrupt the delivery of healthcare by launching Sevaro OneCall for Hospitals.

Sevaro OneCall is a proprietary platform which enables immediate access to neurologists without the use of a call center. It is now available as a separate offering or bundled with Sevaro’s teleneurology services.

One area that continues to create a bottleneck in telestroke response is working with call centers. Managing the physician’s schedule and connecting via call centers prolongs the vascular neurologist’s ability to respond quickly. Studies show, when a patient has a stroke, they lose 1.9 million neurons every minute.

“The industry’s current approach to use call centers complicates telemedicine workflows, leads to inaccurate translation of information and delays treatment. It was clear, the data was telling us the call center was limiting our ability to care for patients the way we would want our family members treated.”

Rajiv Narula, MD,Chief Medical Officer and Founder, Sevaro

Dr. Narula challenged Sevaro’s developers to deliver a solution that directs one phone call to the neurologist who is a privileged member of the hospital staff. Sevaro OneCall eliminates the middleman, and allows hospital ED, ICU and staff to reach a vascular neurologist in under 45 seconds.

“Our hospitals appreciate having the stroke experts available immediately to start making treatment decisions, which has resulted in faster door to needle times and improved patient outcomes. When patients do better, we all win,” said, Narula, MD.

The technology was designed to scale from one hospital communicating with a few teleneurologists to hundreds of facilities and hundreds of providers.

When implemented in 2020, Sevaro began to break hospital record door to needle times (DTN) and average DTNs. One hospital went from an average DTN of 67 minutes to 34 minutes.

Branden Robinson, Sevaro’s Chief Growth Officer says, “Offering Sevaro OneCall to hospitals as a standalone product will allow us to get closer to our commitment of creating more stroke survivors and is not dependent on whether a hospital uses our neurologists.”

About Sevaro

Sevaro is a data-driven provider of telestroke and teleneurology services to hospitals, healthcare systems and payers. Sevaro maximizes its impact through the use of technology, with an emphasis on compassion. Please visit www.sevaro.com/onecall.
