Project Overview
"For most hospitals, the Emergency Department is the primary point of entry for patients, driving up to 70% of hospital admissions. The Qventus platform optimizes hospital operations in real-time. It continuously monitors hospital data and external factors, predicts issues, and prescribes immediate and accurate course corrections. The platform gives frontline teams the answers they need at their fingertips to take the right action at the right moment in time. The result is improved financial performance and enhanced patient and clinician experience."
"Qventus is an AI-based software platform that solves operational challenges across the hospital including emergency departments, perioperative areas, and patient safety.
Much like an air traffic control, we identify potential issues before they occur and recommend immediate and accurate course corrections."
