A Smarter Sepsis Approach

Individualized Sensitivity, Precision and Confidence

MedBeacon surpasses legacy EHRs with contextual AI, bidirectional interoperability, and patient-specific precision. It reinforces clinical decision-making and streamlines workflows.

Sepsis remains one of the most preventable but devastating conditions in modern healthcare – yet current detection methods rely on objective EHR measures that may miss key context and cause alert fatigue. Late detection results in:

Poor quality outcomes  •  More ICU days

Increased LOS  •  Higher treatment costs  Increased mortality

01

Why Conventional Sepsis Alerts Fall Short

Most large hospitals today use EHR-generated alerts as part of their sepsis programs. But those alerts lack specificity and sensitivity; studies suggest that up to 90% are either false positives or unnecessary.

The bottom line: Most sepsis alerts have limited clinical value. They’re more disruptive than productive — especially to busy ED provider staff.

Alert Overload

Generic threshold-based alerts generate excessive noise.    

Delayed Recognition

Sepsis is often identified too late in the cascade.

Low Specificity

Vitals and labs-driven logic may miss important subjective context.

Combatting Alert Fatigue

By contrast, MedBeacon balances objective clinical data with subjective observations about the patient’s condition. To trigger an alert, the smart agent must meet established rules:

 

  1. Clearly explain why the alert is firing

  2. Detail the recommended care pathway for the clinician 

  3. Give the clinician all pertinent information needed to decide on next steps

  4. Allow the clinician to dismiss an alert if it has already been addressed

Designed to Help, Not Disrupt

MedBeacon’s intelligent SaaS-based smart agent delivers timely, patient-specific information directly into clinicians’ workflows. It triggers clear, actionable alerts that give them flexibility in determining next steps.

Our advanced clinical solution leverages agentic and generative AI agents and seamless, bidirectional integration with EHR data from Red Rover Health, our KLAS-recognized technology partner.

Capabilities

Sepsis Alerting

Server-level detection agents monitor patient data using SIRS-based rules and advanced AI-assisted methods. Clinicians receive real-time mobile alerts, accompanied by suggested interventions, protocol steps, and the option to act immediately (e.g., order a sepsis bundle) or suppress alerts with documented reasoning.

Order Tracking

Provides a consolidated view of active, pending, and completed orders with status timers, reminders, results, and configurable completion notifications.

AI Chat

Enables secure interaction with the clinical record via AI, allowing clinicians to request patient summaries, protocol guidance, actionable recommendations, clinical history or medication query.

Patient Lists & Clinical Summaries

Supports list views segmented by service line, with encounter-level summaries that include demographics, orders, diagnoses, results, events, notes, and vitals.

Sepsis Risk Indicator (SRI)

Each patient has a continuously updated SRI, providing an at-a-glance risk score derived from vital signs, labs, and clinical history, viewable directly on the patient list views and detailed patient screens.

Clinical Surveillance & Decision Support

A continuously monitoring intelligence layer that guides standardized sepsis screening at intake, explains alert rationale with clarity, and equips clinicians with flexible, physician-directed next steps, strengthening bedside vigilance while reducing manual burden.

How It Works

Signal Ingestion

  • Multi-source clinical context

  • Vitals & trends

  • Labs & trajectories

  • Ongoing EHR search for relevant medical history

  • Subjective nurse observations

MedBeacon AI Core

  • Contextual intelligence

  • Trend-based risk modeling

  • Pattern recognition (no static thresholds)

  • Noise-suppression algorithms

  • Weighted clinical context

Guided Screening

  • Actionable validation

  • Personalized assessment prompts

  • Rapidly confirm or suppress alert

  • Clear escalation

Specificity to Individual Patients: MedBeacon continuously balances objective EHR data on vitals and medical history with individualized, subjective indicators, such as unusual irritability, clammy skin or forgetfulness.

 

Bidirectional Integration: MedBeacon uses Red Rover Health’s RESTful API platform for seamless integration into the EHR database, allowing for real-time data sync for mobile orders and other commands with the EHR.

 

Information Security and Privacy: MedBeacon is HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant, demonstrating the integrity of our data.
