Leverages AI-Powered Insights to Significantly Reduce Urinary
Tract Infections Among Residents
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Prairie Communities, a
Minnesota-based nonprofit
organization that owns and operates twelve senior living
communities in the region, has partnered with CarePredict, the
leading AI platform in Senior Living that has proven to improve
resident health outcomes by reducing hospitalizations and falls.
This collaboration has already produced impressive results,
including a remarkable reduction in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
at Vista Prairie at Copperleaf, achieved by leveraging early
detection and preventive care measures.
"Understanding the pivotal role of technology in today's senior
care, Vista Prairie is committed to integrating advanced solutions
that deliver better outcomes for our residents," said Jim Bettendorf, President and CEO of Vista
Prairie Communities. "The exceptional results we have observed at
two of our communities, Copperleaf and Fieldcrest, underscore the
value of our partnership with CarePredict, and we are excited to
extend this impactful partnership across all our communities."
Since 2015, with 22 issued patents, CarePredict's award-winning
and first-to-market AI platform continuously and autonomously
observes a resident's daily activity and behavior patterns to
detect changes that precede health declines. Leveraging advanced
insights from CarePredict's revolutionary machine learning
wearable, Tempo™, the Copperleaf team was able to detect early
warning signs in residents at risk for UTIs, enabling them to
intervene before the infection could take hold. CarePredict alerted
staff to subtle changes in behavior, empowering them to take swift
preemptive actions such as increasing fluid intake, introducing
probiotics, and enhancing perineal hygiene during daily care
routines. These proactive measures resulted in an impressive
reduction in UTI cases across the community.
"Without CarePredict's real-time monitoring and predictive
analytics, we would not have had the opportunity to act as quickly
to identify a change in health condition," said Anna Petersmeyer, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer of Vista Prairie Communities. "CarePredict
is transforming resident care by identifying risks early on,
allowing us to improve health outcomes, all while maintaining
resident privacy and dignity without the need for intrusive
cameras."
CarePredict's multi-functional platform extends beyond health
monitoring, offering critical insights into individual resident
frailty, workforce productivity, and response times, automated
documentation of care services, and tracking of direct care minutes
to help guide level of care evaluations. This real-time data
provides real-time insights into residents' escalating frailty and
identifies care gaps, ensuring the delivery of personalized and
timely care.
Following the resounding success at Copperleaf and Fieldcrest,
Vista Prairie is poised to expand the implementation of
CarePredict's platform across all of its communities in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
