Dive Insight:
Mayo Clinic says it is sharing its algorithms to help others provide the best possible patient care.
"At Mayo, one of our most scalable assets is our knowledge," said Paul Friedman, MD in a prepared statement. "We have found sharing knowledge significantly improves the efficacy of care delivery, improving quality and driving down costs."
Friedman provides the example of sudden cardiac arrest. "One algorithm we are sharing through the Apervita Market assists physicians by quickly sifting through data, and automatically identifying patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest for an appropriate consultation," he says.
