eCART

eCART is a predictive analytic used identify acute clinical deterioration, hours before it happens. eCART draws upon readily available patient data from the EHR, rapidly quantifies disease severity and predicts likelihood of critical illness onset. Built upon more than a decade of ongoing scientific research, eCART was developed at the University of Chicago by Dr. Dana Edelson, MD, MS and Dr. Matthew Churpek, MD, PhD and is well chronicled in published literature. The analytic has been in use in clinical practice since 2016 and is currently running in production at 22 hospitals.
