Beamtree Ainsoff Deterioration Index (ADI) application

The Beamtree Ainsoff Deterioration Index (ADI) is an application that uses a simple numeric score as a representation of patient acuity.

Built with historical data from over 300,000 Australian patients, the ADI dashboard displays a visual summary of acuity for all patients at ward and hospital level. Accompanying analytical views further guide organisational insight to workload and risk.

Real-time alerts are generated for patients at the highest risk of deterioration. The sensitivity and accuracy of the tool means that alerts are only generated for patients genuinely at risk of deterioration, far enough in advance to enable clinical teams to act and prevent serious outcomes and long-term issues.

In a clinical trial published in the journal Resuscitation (Bassin et al, 2023), the ADI was found to improve patient outcomes as well as significantly reduce the length of stay by 5% across the entire organisation. This bed stay reduction translates into a cost-benefit into the millions of dollars and frees up access to hospital beds, improving access to care.
