At Carevive, our primary goal is to ensure that the quality of life data we collect is not only relevant but also actionable for both care teams and patients. Our platform provides temporal summaries of the patient experience and utilizes alert triggers to respond to severe symptoms, enabling care teams to promptly reach out, manage symptoms, and document care.

Numerous studies, including our own data, have shown that integrating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into the workflow leads to improved patient adherence to therapy and reduced hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

This unique workflow allows us to generate what we call “smart data” – a powerful combination of structured elements from electronic medical records (EMRs) paired with validated PRO data. The integration of these datasets empowers care teams with a comprehensive view of patient health, enabling personalized and effective cancer care.

Sterile processing departments are dealing with persistent operational pressures. Surgical case volumes are rising, instruments are more complex, and staffing shortages remain across many health systems. Accuracy and documentation requirements continue to tighten, leaving little room for error. In busy hospitals, sterile processing teams may handle 10,000 to 30,000 surgical instruments per day, with…

Unannounced surveys are no longer the exception in healthcare—they’re the norm.

Joint Commission survey data continue to show that high-level disinfection and sterilization practices…

The Rothman Index, developed by Dr. Michael Rothman and his brother Steven, is a pioneering patient acuity score designed to help clinicians recognize patient deterioration earlier and more clearly. Presented as an easily understood, color-coded graph that updates in real time, the Index displays upward and downward trends in patient condition at a glance—transforming…
