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
ICU mortality rates fell by more than 30% after implementation of MetaVision
Lehigh Valley Hospital & Health Network (LVHHN), Allentown, PA, USA, experienced a 16.2% ICU mortality rate between November 2003 and February 2004, prior to installation of MetaVision. After deployment of MetaVision in their ICU, the mortality rate fell by 30%, to a level of 10.3% between November 2004 and February 2005. This is significantly lower than the average US national ICU mortality rate of 12% to 17% during the same period.

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 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 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.

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.

Increased Reimbursements
Implementation of MetaVision results in a $300,000 increase in revenue capture
The time clinicians at Paul Brousse Hospital, Villejuif, France, spent implementing CCAM billing codes decreased significantly once they installed MetaVision. The number of errors was also reduced - by over 70% - which would represent an addition of approximately $300,000 in revenues captured from the French national medical insurance authorities.
