ICU DATA EXPERT continuously checks manual entries and measurements from monitors, ventilators and dialysis devices in real time. Inconsistencies and artefacts are detected upstream before they affect algorithms and results.
ICU DATA EXPERT analyses manual entries and device measurements in real time according to rules established by domain specialists.
Every exclusion, correction or transformation remains identifiable.
A sudden drop from 37 to 34 °C followed by an immediate return to 37 °C probably indicates a measurement artefact. The same principle applies to heart rate and other vital signs.
ARTEFACT EXCLUDED ACCORDING TO THE CLINICAL RULEIncorrect values may be transmitted during equipment setup. ICU DATA EXPERT recognises this phase and prevents them from entering the relevant calculations.
ONLY USABLE DATA IS RETAINEDA recorded height of 1,700 cm is detected as impossible and flagged for verification and correction at source.
INCONSISTENCY REPORTED FOR CORRECTIONImpossible value, device artefact, missing data or inconsistent chronology: ICU DATA EXPERT detects the issue before use. Depending on the clinical rule, the data is excluded from calculation or flagged to the designated professional for correction upstream.
Every check retains the original data, the rule applied and the transformation performed. This traceability explains results and, when necessary, allows the scenario to be reconstructed backwards, including in a medico-legal context.
Continuous cleansing ensures that scores, documents, studies, MDSi, SWISS DRG and dashboards rely on complete, consistent, correctly timestamped and traceable data.
Available data is not necessarily complete or correctly assigned to a stay. Quality checks identify missing and inconsistent information relevant to unit monitoring. Alerts guide the review; they do not replace validation by the designated reviewer before calculations and document production.
