‘Deploying C2-Ai will deliver a quantum leap in patient safety’ [and hence cost reduction]
F.J. Campbell – Group CMO – Ardent Healthcare
“I’m often asked about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the UK. When I do I always point to C2-Ai – saving lives all over the planet by predicting avoidable harm and mortality with world-leading AI based on a dataset of 140 million patients from 46 countries. They are globally unique, innovative, British award-winners. I consider them to be essential for any nation which wants to take digital health seriously. If their innovation was scaled across the NHS I estimate it would save 70,000 lives and £1bn.”
Hassan Chaudhury, Digital Health Lead at Healthcare UK, DIT, July 2020
Companies like Cambridge-based C2-AI, which last week won the COGX Health Innovation for Covid19 Award, are leading the way in the UK’s cutting edge, health tech sector. C2-AI save lives by predicting avoidable harm and mortality so they free up capacity in intensive care units for COVID-19 patients.
Government minister Graham Stuart in the House of Commons, UK Parliament June 2020
We are proud to have support from leading institutions and clinicians around the World
“C2-Ai have the most robust software approach to comparing safety and quality across hospitals, systems and physicians that I have ever seen. The algorithms are backed up by years of published international research. I believe their approach could be most useful as a solution for providers across any network”.
James C Bonnette, MD, Executive Vice President, the Advisory Board (USA)
“CRAB® can identify outcomes that are better than expected, as well as those that are worse, and thus can be used as an improvement tool as well as to assure clinicians and others of the standard of care being provided, and to measure productivity”
Prof. Lord Ara Darzi, NHS, UK
“Accurate benchmarking of outcomes was a real challenge to us as an independent hospital with limited access to big data sets, however our work with CRAB analytics has provided invaluable quality assurance. The risk adjusted reporting has provided confidence that our outcomes are better than comparable organisations and the level of detail enables us to focus on improvements in specific areas. It was particularly useful during our regulatory inspection and follow up meetings with the CQC to show how this strengthens our clinical governance and contributes to our ‘effective’ and ‘well led’ domains.”
Dr Jenny Davidson, Director of Governance, King Edward VII’s, London
“We are thrilled to receive this award, which reflects a great deal of hard work and support from within and […] the support of CRAB® Clinical Informatics who enabled us to benchmark our Trust’s AKI rates against national levels – and then measure the significant impact of our AKI Programme, which coincided with a significant and sustained fall in AKI rates our Trust, especially across surgical wards”.
Dr Jonathan Murray, Renal Consultant at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK
“CRAB® is generating trusted data which we can use to flag up areas of concern. From there we are able to take action in a much more sophisticated way than we have in the past.”
Dr. Timothy Ho, Medical Director, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, UK
“CRAB® is 100% better than any solution available to us at the moment. It has turned out to be a very useful tool in analysing and understanding our case-mix and where our complications are occurring.”
Per Svedmark MD, PhD, Senior Consultant, Stockholm Spine Centre, Sweden
“CRAB® predictions have proved accurate in my primary external research validation of the system. I currently don’t know of any other electronic system in use that can deliver this kind of overall and detailed qualitative feedback to the department and the individual surgeon. It has been a great benefit for our clinic and helped develop our work on patient safety.”
Wilhelmina Ekström, MD, PhD, Senior Consultant, Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden
The problem with [HSMR systems] is that they tell you there might be a problem, but not where or why. CRAB® tells you exactly what and where the problem is, and even which patients are involved. Then you can do something about it.”
Dr. Aresh Anwar, Medical Director Royal Perth Hospital, Australia
“To have reports of this quality dropping on to my iPad is a real joy”
Marcus Bankes, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
“It took 2 years and a very costly investigation to deal with a competence issue in our organisation some time ago. We set CRAB® the blind challenge of seeing if they could have found the problem in our historical data. They did so in 20 minutes. Needless to say, we have invested in the system! Post implementation the software continues to provide our clinicians, our executive team and our Board with robust and objective evidence that our organisation is safe.”
Dr. Michael Roberts, Chief Medical Officer, Northland District Health Board, New Zealand
“CRAB just makes sense. It presents data in a way that is easy to understand and interpret. It has been immensely useful for me both personally in my appraisal and in my role as a Clinical Director. It helps me to pick up early warning of problems with intelligence that can be believed and acted upon”
Jeremy Cundall, Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon – Executive Director, CDDFT
“We use CRAB to provide us with a detailed monthly audit report of each surgeons complications, adjusted against CRABs risk methodology, in order to monitor outcomes performance. Our Clinical Leads meet monthly and review any complications that arise in order to inform and learn from the evidence. We find CRAB provides outcomes intelligence quickly, enabling us to be ‘on top’ of outcomes immediately.
One of the significant gains from using CRAB is a massive improvement in our coding from an engaged clinical workforce”
Brian Wells, then Director of Orthopaedics, GSTT
“CRAB has allowed real time review of data, which has raised awareness and led to change in both clinical practice and hospital culture. I think it will become an essential part of the appraisal and governance structures of secondary care.”
David Williams, Consultant Surgeon, Northern Devon Hospital Trust
“I have worked with C2-Ai for the past seven years, and their insights have shone a light on the quality and safety of patient care that other less sophisticated analyses have not been able to provide”
Tom Hughes MRCP FRCS FRCEM, Consultant in Emergency Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford
“C-Ci have truly developed a state of the art and unique clinical software system”
Philip Gaffney, Director L2S2
“CRAB has provided data for the consultants to really understand their outcomes for patients in a user friendly way.”
Alison Diamond, MD NDFT
“This exercise is not about making data/surgeons/departments look good, but about being accurate so that performance can truly be assessed”
Steve Corbett, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Clinical Lead
