Two health systems choose TheraDoc CDS system

BayCare Health System in Clearwater, Fla., and PeaceHealth healthcare system in Bellevue, Wash., have selected electronic surveillance and clinical decision support (CDS) systems provided by TheraDoc.

The Salt Lake City-based TheraDoc said its interoperable, patented Expert System Platform (ESP) is a standards-based, scalable solution that provides hospitals with real-time surveillance, management, prevention and reporting of patient safety problems, such as hospital-acquired infections and adverse drug events (ADE).

BayCare’s nine-hospital system has licensed TheraDoc’s ESP and a suite of Knowledge Modules that includes the Infection Control Assistant, Antibiotic Assistant and ADE Assistant.

PeaceHealth’s six hospitals also will utilize TheraDoc’s ESP and the same suite of Knowledge Modules with the addition of the Clinical Alerts Assistant.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
