Hari Radhakrishnan, MD, Founder and CEO of DECISIO Health: “DECISIO Health's solutions directly address some of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare, including data overload, "click fatigue," and the lack of integrated clinical decision support”

DECISIO Health is a Houston-based digital health company that has positioned itself as a leader in clinical decision support systems (CDSS) through its innovative and highly configurable platform. Founded in 2013 by Hari Radhakrishnan, MD, DECISIO Health is focused on closing the gap between patient data and care, leveraging advanced technology to aggregate data from electronic health records (EHR), in-room medical devices, and other sources to provide clinicians with relevant, real-time patient information. This data is presented through customizable dashboards, enabling healthcare providers to improve outcomes, reduce variability in care, and comply with established clinical protocols. DECISIO Health was founded with the core belief that clinicians should have access to comprehensive patient data in a streamlined, easy-to-interpret format to facilitate better decision-making. The founders, having worked on the frontlines of healthcare, were acutely aware of the challenges presented by fragmented data and information overload in critical care settings. These insights led to the creation of a platform that integrates multiple data sources into a unified view, delivering actionable insights that help healthcare teams prioritize care and make timely interventions.

The company’s mission revolves around enhancing the quality of patient care through continuous surveillance and data visualization. By focusing on real-time monitoring and smart clinical workflows, DECISIO Health’s solutions have demonstrated the ability to improve compliance with established standards of care, reduce hospital complications, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.

InsightIQ™: The Flagship Solution

At the heart of DECISIO Health's offering is InsightIQ™, an FDA 510k Class II cleared medical device. This flagship product integrates patient data from a variety of sources—EHRs, medical devices, and clinical applications—to present clinicians with a synchronized snapshot of a patient’s condition. InsightIQ™ uses smart bedside surveillance to help clinical teams efficiently identify patients at risk and adhere to clinical guidelines.

One of the platform’s key strengths is its ability to be customized to the specific needs of each healthcare facility. From single units to entire hospital systems, InsightIQ™ provides scalable solutions that can be tailored to fit the protocols and workflows of different care areas, including intensive care units (ICUs), emergency rooms (ERs), and labor and delivery units.

Customizable Protocols and Bundles of Care

One of the standout features of InsightIQ™ is its ability to digitize and integrate bundles of care and screening protocols across various units within a hospital. These protocols are customizable, allowing healthcare providers to configure them to meet the specific needs of different care areas.

For example, in the ICU, protocols for ventilator management, sepsis screening, and acute kidney injury prevention can be digitized and integrated into the InsightIQ™ platform. In labor and delivery units, the system can be configured to monitor maternal early warning scores and gestational hypertension, among other conditions. These digitized protocols help healthcare providers adhere to established standards of care, reduce care variation, and improve patient outcomes.

EnvisionIQ™: Unlocking Data for Process Improvement

In addition to real-time monitoring, DECISIO Health offers EnvisionIQ™, an analytics engine designed to unlock clinical data at a granular level. EnvisionIQ™ helps healthcare organizations identify areas for process and workflow improvement by analyzing large datasets related to patient outcomes and clinical protocols.

This powerful analytics tool enables healthcare systems to benchmark their performance against established standards of care and identify compliance issues early. By visualizing trends and patient-specific data, EnvisionIQ™ allows care teams to make data-driven decisions that optimize workflow and improve operational efficiency. Whether it's reducing the length of stay, minimizing readmission rates, or decreasing care variation, EnvisionIQ™ provides actionable insights that have a measurable impact on patient outcomes.

Smart Clinical Monitoring Across the Care Spectrum

DECISIO Health’s solutions support clinicians across the entire care spectrum, from bedside to remote monitoring, making it a valuable partner for healthcare organizations. InsightIQ™ and EnvisionIQ™ are applicable in various settings, including ICUs, ERs, neuro units, and labor and delivery. For instance, in neuro units, InsightIQ™ monitors traumatic brain injury patients by integrating invasive data like intracranial pressure. In labor and delivery, it tracks maternal early warning scores and gestational hypertension, enabling timely interventions to reduce complications and enhance patient outcomes.

Improving Workforce Productivity with Remote Monitoring

The healthcare industry is experiencing a critical provider shortage, making workforce productivity essential. DECISIO Health tackles this challenge with remote and virtual monitoring capabilities, enabling care teams to extend their reach without being physically present at the patient’s bedside. This is particularly beneficial for rapid response teams (RRTs), which help prevent patient deterioration and manage medical emergencies.

DECISIO Health’s remote monitoring solutions allow RRTs to oversee patients in various care areas, facilitating timely interventions and improving patient outcomes. Through its flagship product, InsightIQ™, and analytics engine, EnvisionIQ™, DECISIO Health empowers providers to deliver high-quality, responsive care with continuous surveillance and data aggregation.
