Spacelabs Healthcare Partners with DEPTH Health to Expand Access to Rothman Index® for Hospitals
Spacelabs Healthcare has announced a strategic agreement with DEPTH Health, Inc. aimed at enhancing clinical decision-making and patient care across hospitals and health systems. Through this collaboration, DEPTH Health will integrate Spacelabs’ innovative Rothman Index® into its advanced care coordination platform, enabling healthcare providers to better monitor patient conditions and respond proactively to changes.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in leveraging predictive analytics and real-time clinical insights to improve patient outcomes, streamline hospital operations, and support care teams in making faster, more informed decisions.
Enhancing Clinical Intelligence Through Integration
At the core of this agreement is the integration of the Rothman Index® into DEPTH Health’s Real-Time Advisor for Clinical Expert Routing (RACER™) platform. RACER™ is designed to optimize patient flow within hospitals by ensuring that patients receive the right level of care at the right time.
By incorporating the Rothman Index into RACER™, hospitals will gain access to a powerful tool that continuously evaluates patient conditions and highlights subtle signs of deterioration or improvement. This allows clinicians to intervene earlier, potentially preventing complications and improving recovery trajectories.
The integration also supports better coordination among care teams by providing a shared, data-driven view of patient status. This unified perspective helps reduce communication gaps and ensures that critical decisions are based on accurate and up-to-date information.
A Smarter Approach to Patient Monitoring
The Rothman Index® is an advanced clinical decision support tool designed to help healthcare providers detect even minor changes in a patient’s condition. Unlike traditional monitoring systems that may rely on isolated data points, the Rothman Index aggregates and analyzes a wide range of clinical inputs to provide a comprehensive assessment of patient health.
Specifically, the Index incorporates 26 different clinical variables, including:
- Vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate
- Laboratory results
- Nursing assessments and observations
- Additional data from electronic health records (EHRs)
Using a proprietary predictive analytics model, the system calculates a patient’s condition on a 200-point scale, offering a clear and intuitive visual representation of whether a patient is improving or deteriorating.
This continuous monitoring capability enables clinicians to identify trends that might otherwise go unnoticed, empowering them to act before a patient’s condition becomes critical.
Supporting Faster and More Informed Decision-Making
According to Alan Portela, Co-Founder and CEO of DEPTH Health, the Rothman Index stood out during the company’s evaluation of complementary technologies for its RACER™ platform.
He emphasized that the Index’s ability to detect subtle clinical changes provides healthcare providers with actionable insights that can significantly improve decision-making. With this level of visibility, clinicians can quickly determine whether a patient requires escalation to intensive care or is stable enough to transition to a lower-acuity setting.
This capability is particularly valuable in today’s healthcare environment, where hospitals face increasing pressure to manage patient volumes efficiently while maintaining high standards of care. By enabling quicker and more accurate decisions, the combined solution helps optimize bed utilization and improve overall patient flow.
Improving Patient Flow and Hospital Efficiency
One of the key benefits of integrating the Rothman Index into DEPTH Health’s platform is its impact on patient flow management. Efficient patient movement within a hospital is essential for ensuring timely access to care, reducing wait times, and maximizing the use of available resources.
With real-time insights into patient conditions, hospitals can:
- Identify patients who need immediate attention
- Determine when patients are ready for discharge or transfer
- Reduce bottlenecks in critical care units
- Allocate resources more effectively
By improving these processes, healthcare systems can enhance operational efficiency while also delivering better patient experiences.
Empowering Care Teams with Actionable Insights
For clinicians, having access to reliable and actionable data is crucial for delivering high-quality care. The Rothman Index provides a clear, easy-to-understand snapshot of patient status, allowing doctors and nurses to prioritize their efforts and focus on patients who need the most attention.
This not only improves clinical outcomes but also helps reduce the cognitive burden on healthcare providers. In a fast-paced hospital environment, tools that simplify decision-making and highlight critical information can make a significant difference in both patient care and staff well-being.
The integration with RACER™ further enhances this capability by ensuring that insights are delivered in real time and aligned with hospital workflows. This seamless experience allows care teams to act بسرعة and confidently, without the need to navigate complex or fragmented systems.
Leadership Perspectives on the Partnership
Wilson Constantine, President of Spacelabs Healthcare, highlighted the broader impact of the agreement, noting that it will help hospitals address some of their most pressing challenges in patient care.
He emphasized that the Rothman Index was developed with the goal of empowering healthcare providers to deliver exceptional care and improve treatment outcomes. The continued recognition of the Index’s effectiveness underscores Spacelabs’ commitment to innovation and its focus on developing technologies that push the boundaries of patient care.
Constantine also pointed out that the collaboration with DEPTH Health will expand access to the Rothman Index, enabling more healthcare organizations to benefit from its capabilities.
Advancing the Future of Healthcare Technology
The partnership between Spacelabs Healthcare and DEPTH Health reflects a growing trend in the healthcare industry toward the use of advanced analytics and integrated platforms to improve care delivery.
As hospitals continue to face challenges such as rising patient volumes, staffing shortages, and increasing complexity in care management, solutions that combine predictive insights with real-time operational tools are becoming essential.
By bringing together the strengths of both companies, this collaboration aims to create a more connected and intelligent healthcare ecosystem—one where data-driven insights support every stage of the patient journey.
