Extra Innings: Kevin Kronmiller’s Story

The Problem:

When Kevin Kronmiller was 22, he found out he had 5 years to live if he didn't receive a liver transplant. Beating the odds, Kevin made it to 50 before needing a liver transplant. After his surgery, Kevin went into Septic Shock. He found out later from his physicians that he had a 30% chance of survival and even if he did survive, doctors were very concerned about long-term complications.

The Outcome:

Kevin’s physicians relied on Ambient Clinical Analytics’ AWARE Sepsis DART™ solution to notify them he was potentially septic. Using the DART™ platform, physicians and nurses were guided through the care process, making sure Kevin received all the required Sepsis Bundle Elements. Because of this, Kevin not only survived sepsis but was able to return to living a normal life with no long-term sepsis complications.
