DESCRIPTION

Brigham & Women’s Hospital is a 793-bed teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School that was seeking a solution that could bring the very latest drug interaction data right to patients’ bedsides. The forward-thinking team at BWH also wanted a solution that could learn over time—ultimately developing into a research tool. BWH implemented a solution that could use its massive data volumes and conduct multiple drug studies simultaneously—allowing researchers to design, test and apply brand-new algorithms to quickly identify drug risk warning signals.
