A Better Way: Data Points to Respiratory Scoring to More Accurately Predict Deterioration in COVID-19

January 27, 2022
During this webinar you'll learn the following:
  • Why existing risk scoring may be misleading for patients with COVID-19.
  • The predictive validity of the ROX index for COVID-19 deterioration.
  • What health systems need to create COVID-19 deterioration scoring.
  • How to use data to understand and optimize rapid response systems in hospital.

Join Dr. Guy Glover, a critical care physician at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in the U.K., and Kathleen Merkley, Senior Vice President of Professional Services at Health Catalyst, as they discuss key findings from a U.K. study, in which Dr. Glover was the lead investigator.  The study assesses the widely used NEWS2 score versus a simple respiratory assessment, the Respiratory rate—Oxygenation (ROX) index, as a more sensitive predictor of deterioration among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. This will be set in a wider context of how to understand and optimize rapid response systems in hospitals for COVID-19 and beyond.
