Pascal’s Virtual Patient Safety Solution
The Patient Safety and Risk Management Watch Tower
Most high-risk industries have developed sophisticated command centers or “watch towers” to detect errors and to prevent disasters.
The healthcare industry still relies largely on the “see something, say something” method of medical error or harm detection, and prevention.
Healthcare providers are focusing on delivering care in highly complex, fast-paced clinical environments. They simply can’t see and report every safety problem or risk. Think about it, we don’t expect pilots to be solely responsible for air travel safety. No, we need them focused. That’s why they’re supported by advanced systems and dedicated teams, all working to keep people safe.
Health systems still relying on voluntary event
reports to measure patient harm, are flying blind.

Pascal’s VPS solution consistently identifies 10x more serious harm than today’s standard voluntary event reporting.
Multiple studies as well as our own data have shown that using Pascal’s trigger method consistently identifies at least ten times more serious adverse events than the event reporting systems that have been the industry standard for decades. We have repeatedly demonstrated this across hospitals and health systems large and small.
The VPS solution is powered by the most advanced triggers and the largest, real-time electronic health record-based adverse event outcome data set in the world. Our unique, clinically validated data set is critical to revolutionizing patient safety and risk management, and can be used to train advanced machine learning and AI technology.
Our advanced software and expert clinical teams identify, verify, and notify our patient safety and risk management clients when a patient is harmed or is at risk of being harmed.

The VPS solution has three main components
1. Identify Harm
Pascal’s Risk Trigger® Monitor (RTM) software scans every electronic medical record using the industry’s most advanced trigger library to identify potential harm and risk events using real-time EHR data.
2. Verify & Notify
Our Expert Clinical Review (ECR) teams bring decades of front line experience to our client hospital and health system partners. These patient safety specialists are able to dive deep into every aspect of the patient’s record to conduct “sense-making” if appropriate and escalate for action. Our ECR teams are clinically integrated with every client facility 365 days per year.
When an adverse event is clinically validated, VPS uses a standardized process to document and classify the harm across dozens of dimensions, including severity, preventability, possible causes, and related factors (such as medication, procedure, device, and more), and the client stakeholders are notified. In some cases, we’re able to notify our clients of the potential for harm before it occurs.
3. Analyze and Guide
We don’t just tell you what, when, how, and why the harm is happening. Pascal’s VPS also includes deeper analysis and insights by our Expert Safety Advisory (ESA) teams, on patterns, trends, outliers, and much more. We proactively partner with our clinical clients to help create plans to reduce harms across a single hospital, or an entire health system.
