MetaVision Produces High-Impact Results
MetaVision® has a proven track record of producing positive outcomes. Hospitals have realized clinical, financial and operational benefits with the system, including significantly reduced patient mortality rate, fewer medical errors, and less time spent on documentation. Further, the MetaVision Suite is proven to improve compliance with regulations and protocols. The high impact of MetaVision in the clinical setting has been documented in various academic peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.
Improved Patient Care
MetaVision shortens length of stay and decreases mortality rate
A study done at Hôpital Pitié-Salpétrière in Paris, France found that after implementing MetaVision in their intensive care unit, length of stay was shortened by 2 days (7 versus 9) and a near 15% decrease in mortality was observed, from 17% to 14.5%. The study discusses the advantages of MetaVision’s customizability and clinical decision support, which enable optimization of patient care, and which may explain the reduction in duration of patients' stay in the ICU.

New study shows 31% reduced mortality rate using MetaVision
A new study of critically ill patients at Lehigh Valley Hospital has found significantly reduced mortality rates, after implementing a health IT bundle including MetaVision. The hospital used MetaVision as the ICU’s electronic medical record, and MVcentral for telemonitoring, to achieve intensivist bedside coverage 24/7. LVH published that after implementing MetaVision, among other technologies, mortality fell from 21.4% to 14.7% (a reduction of 31.3%).

MetaVision CPOE significantly reduces prescribing errors and increases safety in the ICU
A study at the Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, UK, showed that after the implementation of MetaVision in their 25-bed ICU, all issues of legibility, completeness and traceability were eliminated, increasing the percentage of correctly prescribed drugs from 53% to 100%. For example, MetaVision reduced dose errors from 11.7% in handwritten prescriptions to 0% post-implementation and increased the traceability of prescribers from 31% on handwritten prescriptions to 100% after deployment.

MetaVision improves early and adequate delivery of nutrients in the ICU
A study at the VU University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, shows that MetaVision and its decision support tools allow for significantly improved early delivery of nutrition in the ICU. After installing MetaVision, the percentage of patients with adequate nutrients delivered by day 4 in the ICU increased from 30.2% to 56.5%, in accordance with ICU guidelines. Recent literature shows that nutrition protocol management and guideline adherence is critical to shortening ICU stays and reducing patient mortality.

MetaVision Decision Support tools reduce prescription errors by 83%
Research carried out in the pediatric ICU at the Schneider Children’s Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel, shows that prescription errors and potential adverse drug events were significantly reduced through the use of MetaVision's decision support capabilities. Specifically, adverse drug events were reduced by 72%, while medication prescription errors fell from 5.5% to a mere 0.7%. This shows the extent to which MetaVision can prevent weight-based calculation errors, which are of particular significance in pediatrics.

MetaVision Event Manager improves reactivation of CPB monitor
The rate of alarm reactivation at baseline (Stage I) was 22%, increased to 63% (Stage II), and again to 83% during Stage III (P < 0.001). The spontaneous alarm reactivation rate before the appearance of the electronic reminder on the anesthesia information management system screen increased from 19% at Stage II to 42% at stage III (P < 0.001).

Nutrition support and energy balance improved by use of MetaVision
Malnutrition in hospitalized patients is associated with increased infectious morbidity, prolonged hospital stay, and increased mortality. Research carried out in ICUs at the University Hospital (CHUV), Lausanne, Switzerland, found that the use of MetaVision was associated with an increase in the quality of nutritional support due to enforced prescription standardization and the direct display of results.

Accurate nutrition information with MetaVision aids critically ill patients
A study at the General ICU at the Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel, revealed that MetaVision provides accurate information on energy balance in critically ill patients. This may allow the early detection and prevention of severe negative energy balance and complications.

MetaVision improves newborn care
Using MetaVision, the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV) enabled safer, more accurate testing for newborns and identified potentially dangerous conditions. Using their database of 30,000 glycaemia entries in MetaVision, CHUV was able to determine the accuracy of new point-of-care blood testing devices without performing potentially detrimental blood testing of neonates. As a result, an ineffective point-of-care blood testing device was determined to be inaccurate, and was taken off the market for neonatal hypoglycaemia screening purposes.

MetaVision reduces Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)
Using data from MetaVision, the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center in Israel decreased the use of an ineffective PONV drug by 13%, increased the number of patients who got the correct dosage by over 20%, and decreased the number of patients who got the PONV drug too early by 25%.

Increased Operational Efficiency
MetaVision delivers complete anesthesia records for 99.6% cases
A study performed at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Israel found that using context-sensitive mandatory fields in MetaVision was associated with high record completeness rate and data concordance, enabling complete anesthesia records for 99.6% cases. Additionally, implementation of MetaVision was deemed successful by 98% of the anesthesiologists, who found using MetaVision to be more comfortable than paper-based records. MetaVision’s usability was rated as high, and the forms’ design as comfortable.

Significant increase in PQRI compliance with MetaVision
Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH) increased its compliance with PQRI Measure 193 - Perioperative Temperature Management, from 60% to 92% using MetaVision.
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) now reports on administration of the appropriate antibiotic to surgical patients within the sixty minutes prior to surgical incision, as mandated by PQRI Measure 20 - Timely Administration of Prophylactic Parenteral Antibiotics, in 99% of cases. As a result of using MetaVision, MGH easily meets the threshold for reimbursement, which requires reporting in 90-95% of cases.
MetaVision enables compliance with PQRI and other quality initiatives
MetaVision enabled Massachusetts General Hospital to meet the following PQRI measures: Timing of Antibiotic Prophylaxis, Perioperative Temperature Management, and Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Insertion. Further, the hospital was able to identify safety measures that physicians needed to meet for accreditation, and to help physicians reach a 99% success rate for these measures.
