Penn Medicine was named a Digital Edge 50 Award winner for the Awakening Breathing Coordination (ABC) Program. Using clinical decision support algorithms developed with help from the Center for Predictive Medicine, the ABC program is designed to allow patients to be weaned from sedation and mechanical ventilation at the earliest appropriate time through the display of real-time data on an electronic dashboard and by alerting clinicians through mobile devices. By removing patients from ventilators earlier so they can breathe on their own, care teams can shorten patients' stay in the ICU, reduce the costs associated with their care, and improve patients' overall experience, both physically and mentally. Presented by CIO magazine and the CIO Executive Council, Digital Edge 50 Awards recognize 50 organizations making "great strides toward being digital-centric businesses."
