Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When something goes wrong in healthcare, everyone asks the same question: what happened? Hospitals ask it in quality meetings. Families ask it at the bedside. Attorneys, insurers and regulators ask it in their own ways. Yet the answer is almost always incomplete, because we have learned to review medical records rather than reconstruct what actually happened to the patient.In Clinical Intelligence: The Next Frontier in Healthcare, Michelle Carroll draws on more than four decades of clinical experience to show a better way. She introduces clinical intelligence as a discipline in its own right: the structured, evidence-based reconstruction of a patient's clinical story, built before anyone decides what that story means.At the heart of the book is the Lexcura Clinical Intelligence Model(TM), seven pillars applied in order: Record Integrity, Baseline, Imaging Analysis, Timeline Reconstruction, Standard of Care, Regulatory and Compliance Overlay, and Causation Mapping. Each finding is graded as Established, Supported but disputed, Inferential or Unresolved, so readers know exactly how much weight it can bear.Through real-world stories from the emergency department, medical floors, labor and delivery, long-term care, hospice and behavioral health, readers learn to:- Recognize the seven ways medical records mislead- Measure every change against the patient's own baseline- Separate when a patient changed from when anyone noticed and acted- Judge care fairly, without hindsight- Test causation honestly, keeping "could have" apart from "more likely than not"- Find the system patterns behind repeated harmThe book also takes on artificial intelligence directly, explaining what technology does well, where it fails, and why the future belongs to clinicians and technology working together in the right order.With eleven illustrated diagrams, an annotated sample report, a seven-pillar worksheet and a practical guide to building a clinical intelligence program, this is an essential resource for hospital leaders, quality and risk teams, clinicians, attorneys, insurers, regulators and educators.The future of healthcare is not more data. It is better understanding.
