Intermountain Health's Innovative Approach to Enhancing Critical Care Outcomes

Intermountain Health has been selected as one of six core health care systems to lead a national effort to improve treatment for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, and sepsis. These conditions, which collectively kill hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. each year, have been treated similarly despite their differences. The federally funded initiative will gather information from 5,000 patients to better understand the subtypes of these syndromes and develop more targeted treatments. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning will be utilized to identify patterns and improve patient outcomes.
