Impathiq™: Revolutionizing Healthcare with Innovative Apps and SMART-FHIR Plug-ins
In today's fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our lives. From ordering food to booking a cab, everything is just a click away. The healthcare industry is no exception to this trend. With the advent of digitalization, healthcare providers are now leveraging technology to improve patient care and outcomes.
One such company that is at the forefront of this revolution is Impathiq™. Founded in 2017, Impathiq™ creates apps and SMART-FHIR plug-ins for Epic and Cerner medical records, including a high-sensitivity troponin application powered by the HEART Pathway®.
Impathiq™'s mission is to provide innovative solutions that enhance patient care while reducing costs for healthcare providers. Their team comprises experienced clinicians, software developers, and data scientists who work together to create cutting-edge products that meet the needs of modern-day healthcare.
The company's flagship product is their high-sensitivity troponin application powered by the HEART Pathway®. This app helps clinicians diagnose acute coronary syndrome (ACS) quickly and accurately while reducing unnecessary hospital admissions.
The HEART Pathway® algorithm was developed by Drs Michael Pencina and Simon Mahler at Wake Forest Baptist Health in North Carolina. It uses five clinical variables (history, ECG findings, age, risk factors for CAD, troponin level) to identify low-risk patients who can be safely discharged from the emergency department without further testing or observation.
Impathiq™'s app takes this algorithm one step further by incorporating high-sensitivity troponin assays into the equation. High-sensitivity assays can detect very small amounts of cardiac troponins in blood samples which allows for earlier detection of ACS than traditional assays.
The app also provides real-time decision support based on current guidelines from organizations such as American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), European Society of Cardiology (ESC), etc., ensuring that clinicians have access to up-to-date information when making treatment decisions.
Apart from their flagship product, Impathiq™ also offers other apps and SMART-FHIR plug-ins that help streamline workflows for healthcare providers while improving patient outcomes:
1) Medication Reconciliation App: This app helps clinicians reconcile medications across different settings such as hospitals or clinics which reduces medication errors due to incomplete or inaccurate medication lists.
2) Clinical Documentation Improvement Plug-in: This plug-in uses natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze clinical notes automatically which improves coding accuracy while reducing documentation time.
3) Patient Engagement App: This app allows patients to access their medical records securely through their smartphones which improves patient engagement while reducing administrative burden on staff.
4) Quality Metrics Dashboard Plug-in: This plug-in provides real-time data analytics on quality metrics such as readmission rates or length-of-stay which helps administrators make informed decisions about resource allocation or process improvement initiatives.
All these products are designed with one goal in mind - improving patient care through innovation. Impathiq™'s commitment towards excellence has been recognized by various organizations:
1) They were selected as one of ten finalists out of over 200 applicants for Duke University's Health Innovation Jam competition in 2018.
2) They were awarded a grant from NC IDEA Foundation's Seed Grant program in 2019.
3) They were featured in Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list under Healthcare category in 2020.
In conclusion, Impathiq™ is a company that has disrupted traditional approaches towards healthcare delivery with its innovative products. Their focus on enhancing patient care through technology has earned them recognition within the industry as well as among investors and media outlets alike. With an experienced team dedicated towards creating cutting-edge solutions tailored towards modern-day challenges faced by healthcare providers worldwide - it comes as no surprise why they are considered leaders within this space!
