Platform Comparison

Seven metrics. One clear answer.

Legacy alerting systems were built for compliance documentation, not clinical prediction. The gap compounds every shift.

Clinical Evidence

Peer-reviewed. Prospectively validated.

Five prospectively validated studies. One meta-analysis. The numbers don't change because the study design is rigorous.

Three tiers. One pattern.

Anonymized outcomes across community, regional, and academic health systems.

−19%
Readmission reduction
Community Health System180-bed · MEDITECH Expanse · Midwest Regional Network
Challenge

Facing 1.8% CMS readmission penalty with a 16.4% 30-day readmission rate, two understaffed med-surg floors, and no dedicated rapid response coordinator.

Outcome

After 90-day Pulse deployment, the system reduced readmissions by 19% and eliminated 6 of 8 monthly RRT activations that were previously missed on overnight shifts.

−84%
False alert reduction
Regional Medical Center340-bed · Oracle Health (Cerner) · Southeast Health Alliance
Challenge

Post-merger IT consolidation left nursing staff managing three alert systems simultaneously. Alert fatigue had degraded response times to genuine deterioration events by an estimated 40%.

Outcome

Pulse replaced all three legacy alert streams. False alert volume dropped from 3.7 to 0.6 per shift within 60 days. Clinical staff response time to genuine flags improved from 22 minutes to 8 minutes.

−12 pp
ICU transfer rate
Academic Medical Center620-bed · Epic (App Orchard) · Northeast Academic Health System
Challenge

Teaching hospital with high patient complexity and 23% ICU transfer rate from med-surg. Residents flagging deterioration events an average of 2.1 hours after onset — well past the intervention window.

Outcome

Pulse flagged 94% of deterioration events an average of 14.2 hours before escalation. ICU transfer rate from med-surg dropped 12 percentage points over two quarters.

FY2026 Penalty Window — CMS HRRP Update

240 hospitals (8.1%) face penalties of 1% or more beginning October 1, 2026 — up from 208 in FY2025. CMS is expected to include Medicare Advantage enrollees in FY2027 calculations, with 75–82% of hospitals projected to face some penalty. The deployment window to affect FY2027 scores is narrowing.
