Tech Differentiators

Beyond Lucid Technologies has pioneered Mobile Medical / Prehospital Care interoperability since 2015, when the California EMS Authority, Kaiser Permanente, a San Francisco-area Health Information Exchange, and America's largest ambulance service expressed concern that Fire & EMS data were not consumable by EHRs as discrete data. The MEDIVIEW BEACON Prehospital Health Information Exchange proved otherwise in just four months (by Thanksgiving 2015). The platform supports pre-arrival notifications about whether an inbound patient has a document reflecting his or her end-of-life medical wishes (POLST) or has a child with medical complexity. The platform processes triage alerts to slash the time needed to transfer patient care at the hospital; and tracks patient data longitudinally ("over time") for syndromic surveillance, substance use disorder intervention, and family reunification. Moreover, the system can layer onto any state-compliant ambulance-based electronic patient care reporting system, as well as export data in real-time for consumption by state health information exchanges (HIEs). During COVID-19, in JUST ONE WEEK we deployed exposure tracking technology across the Los Angeles County Fire Department. In the same amount of time, we can implement a light-touch (i.e., nothing to build or buy) real-time notifications system for receiving hospitals and other care sites. The data can be consumed by most modern electronic health record systems. We recently began showcasing Digital Triage tags that offer heads-up awareness about patients en route to a care facility, with the ability to streamline follow-ups, and "drop a net over the region" so no patient gets lost in the regional health ecosystem.
