MARINA DEL REY, California and LINCOLN, Nebraska—March 31, 2020—4medica® and KPI Ninja announced today teaming up to launch a comprehensive lab analytics solution to support rapid treatment, prevention and spread of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. The COVID-19 Alerts and Reporting Solution™ helps healthcare organizations and medical professionals identify and prioritize patients at higher risk of contracting severe forms of the respiratory disease. The solution also finds and tracks healthcare facility and ICU bed utilization across the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports, “In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.” This statement points to a national need for precise data to identify and track suspected or confirmed patient cases concurrently with the availability of bed capacity. First responders, hospitals, health systems, medical practices, ACOs, HIEs and public health agencies need the data insights to make informed decisions mobilizing people and facilities to care for the growing number of cases in various regions across the U.S.
The COVID-19 Alerts and Reporting Solution integrates the 4medica Lab Hub™ and KPI’s Ninja Universe analytics platform to provide real-time lab pandemic analytics and ADT notifications. Commercial laboratories such as Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp and BioReference Laboratories and public health laboratories send results to 4medica to normalize and match to the right patient identity. The validated data is then submitted to the Ninja Universe platform to analyze and share with the appropriate front-line providers, public health agencies and patients.
