Problem
Emergency departments face challenges in efficiently and accurately assessing patients presenting with chest pain, leading to unnecessary hospitalizations and cardiac evaluations. A significant portion of these patients undergo lengthy and costly evaluations despite a low likelihood of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while a small percentage of patients with myocardial infarctions are inappropriately discharged. This can result in increased healthcare costs and potential malpractice claims.
Solution
Impathiq provides EHR-integrated clinical decision support tools, including the HEART Pathway®, to improve the risk stratification of patients with chest pain. The HEART Pathway® is a clinical algorithm that uses objective clinical data to identify patients who are unlikely to benefit from advanced cardiac diagnostic testing and can be safely discharged. By implementing standardized protocols based on clinical validation studies, Impathiq's solutions enable clinicians to make more informed decisions, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, and ensure consistency of care across the health system. The platform integrates with existing EHR systems like Epic and Cerner, providing real-time analytics and supporting chest pain center accreditation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes emergency medicine physicians, cardiologists, and hospital administrators seeking to improve the efficiency and accuracy of chest pain assessment and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations.
