Cytovale’s IntelliSep Revolutionizes Sepsis Testing With Significant ED Discharge Increases
Maximizing Emergency Department Efficiency with IntelliSep
In the ever-evolving field of emergency medicine, effective patient triage is paramount. A recent multicenter study reveals that Cytovale's rapid sepsis diagnostic, known as IntelliSep®, has significantly improved discharge rates within emergency departments (EDs), achieving a remarkable 56% increase in safe discharges for low-risk patients. This innovative approach not only enhances patient safety but also alleviates the pressure on inpatient bed capacity, a critical concern in contemporary healthcare.
The Importance of Efficient Triage
Each year, over 155 million visits to emergency departments are recorded nationwide, with around 20% of adults presenting with symptoms suggestive of serious infections like sepsis. Identifying genuine cases of sepsis promptly is crucial as it directly influences the outcomes for patients, quality of care, and even the financial viability of health systems. However, the increasing incidence of overcrowding in EDs complicates efficient patient management, frequently resulting in cramped conditions and long wait times.
