- There are currently 150 serious errors in every 1000 patient days (Rothschild).
- Patients suffer 36 preventable adverse events in every 1000 patient days (Levinson).

The impact of the AWARE Critical Care Clinical Decision Support System
Ambient’s AWARE Clinical Decision Support System reduces errors, improves patient outcomes, reduces cost of care and delivers best-care practices for ICUs and other critical care areas. AWARE is a clinical decision support system that provides a “smart view” of Electronic Health Record data that reduces the risk of medical error and improves patient outcomes. It works with your EMR system and bedside monitors to present only relevant information customizable for your care practice on a single screen dashboard. This minimizes information overload, which is a leading cause of medical error, and results in lower cost of care. By facilitating quick access to patients’ information at the point of care, AWARE aids interventional decision-making. The AWARE clinical decision support system has proven to reduce the incidence of cognitive errors by 50%.
