Clinical Alerts: SMART Alerts

SMART Alerts is the premium offering of our alert services. These alerts are triggered when a predetermined-criteria is met, indicating a change in a patient’s health condition, lab values or encounter history.

Overview

The criteria for triggering SMART Alerts are customizable, depending on the goals of the care provider. For example, when monitoring changes in an HIV+ patient’s viral load, a SMART Alert is sent to a care manager if the patient’s viral load moves above a specified acceptable range. As with the other alerts, providers receive a “tickler” notification in their smartphone or other device, directing them to the Healthix portal to access a SMART Alert, or receive alerts directly in their EHR.

Types of SMART Alerts

  • Viral Load
  • Lost to Care
  • High Utilization ED Patients
  • Predictive Analytic Alerts
