Rothman Index

The Rothman Index has been validated against over 250,000 sets of patient records from leading US hospitals. Methods of validation include examining the correlations between patient Rothman Index scores and 24 hour mortality, 1 year mortality, 30 day hospital readmission rates, APACHE III initial estimate of mortality in the ICU, and discharge dispositions. A prospective, randomized controlled study performed in 2008 showed that the use of the Rothman Index could significantly increase the number of patients discharged to home.

CHA has joined with PeraHealth as a Certified Solutions Partner to introduce hospitals using McKesson Paragon to PeraTrend™. CHA will also serve a key role in the strategic implementation and support of PeraTrend for Paragon customers.
