CarePulse

CarePulse is a healthcare technology company focused on improving emergency department operations through real-time patient-flow visibility and predictive analytics. Its cloud-based SaaS platform uses hospital data, including HL7 messages, to monitor patient throughput, identify bottlenecks and highlight delays across emergency-care processes. The platform provides healthcare teams with real-time visibility into arrivals, bed placement, testing and treatment flow, queue depth and resource utilization. CarePulse is designed to help nurses, physicians and hospital administrators identify operational problems earlier, improve staffing and resource allocation, reduce delays and support more efficient emergency department care. According to CarePulse, its technology was developed from the experience of emergency physician Dr. Jeffrey R. Dreyer and has been tested in a Central Florida hospital. The company reports that a hospital with more than 50,000 annual emergency-department visits experienced a sustained reduction in patient wait time during its beta testing.
