Refuses to be Compartmentalized
- Sepsis is the #1 cause of death in hospitals today.2 Hospitalization costs more than $27B/Year, $18k per patient, in the United States. 2
- 20-50% of severely affected with Sepsis, die.2 For every hour delay in treatment, there is an 8% increase in mortality. 1
Up to 49% of clinician time is spent interacting with the EMR. 3 Healthcare Data Accumulates at an Exponential Rate: 4
2013 - 153 Exabytes
2020 - 2,314 Exabytes- Medical knowledge has been expanding exponentially. Whereas the doubling time was an estimated 50 years back in 1950, it accelerated to 7 years in 1980, 3.5 years in 2010, and a projected 73 days in 2020. 5
