Inovalon VigiLanz is a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) clinical surveillance and patient safety platform, part of the Inovalon ONE® Platform. It is designed for hospitals, health systems, and other clinical facilities (acute, post-acute, and ambulatory care) to proactively identify and mitigate patient risks in near real-time. The platform converts disparate electronic health record (EHR) data—including labs, vitals, medications, and notes—into uniform, actionable intelligence using a configurable, rule-based engine. This allows clinicians to receive timely alerts and prioritize interventions faster than traditional manual or retrospective methods.
Key Product Modules & Use Cases:
- Infection Prevention: Provides adaptive surveillance, rule-based alerts, automated NHSN reporting (including AUR), and visual infection mapping to detect and prevent Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAIs), CAIs, and MDROs.
- Pharmacy Surveillance: Empowers pharmacists with real-time alerts to anticipate, prevent, and address adverse drug events (ADEs), improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), and support safe opioid use. It has been consistently ranked Best in KLAS for Pharmacy Surveillance.
- Quality Management: Focuses on patient safety and quality improvement, including automated sepsis detection, near real-time patient acuity monitoring (e.g., MEWS dashboard), and glucose management.
- Safety Management: Features a user-friendly event reporting system with automated event detection (autodetection) capabilities that use EHR data to capture safety incidents that might otherwise be missed. It includes in-depth cause analysis tools like root cause analysis and the five whys.
Key Benefits:
- Proactive Intervention: Near real-time alerts enable earlier intervention to reduce patient harm and costly adverse events.
- Workflow Efficiency: Streamlines daily clinical workflows, reduces manual documentation burden, and automates regulatory reporting (e.g., NHSN, Joint Commission).
- Customization & Integration: Offers seamless integration with existing EHR systems and a highly customizable rule engine to align with facility-specific protocols.
