John Zaleski featured in RT Magazine cover story on alarm management for respiratory therapists
John Zaleski, PhD, CAP, CPHIMS, Chief Analytics Officer of Bernoulli, the real-time leader in patient safety, is featured in the May/June cover story of RT Magazine, “Patient Monitoring and Alarm Fatigue.”
The article notes that alarm fatigue continues to remain a significant patient safety threat and details how clinicians can mitigate this problem.
Zaleski says that hospitals and health systems need better understanding of their current state environment, including clinical workflows, patient cohorts, and assessments in order to develop comprehensive guidelines and protocols for clinical alarm management.
As for solutions, Zaleski recommends one with integration capabilities. “Combinatorial alarms take multiple sources of information and bring it together to corroborate events. This is not simply limited to data extracted in real time from patient care devices at the point of care, but also can be drawn from ancillary sources.”
Read the cover story here. A case study on Bernoulli’s success in ventilator alarm management at the Hospital for Special Care is available here.

John Zaleski article: continuous monitoring for respiratory depression in HIMSS FutureCare
The use of opioids for treatment of acute post-operative pain is rather commonplace, but patients with obstructed sleep apnea are at risk for respiratory depression and arrest, which can lead to anoxic brain injury or death if left unattended, writes Bernoulli Chief Analytics Officer John Zaleski, PhD, CAP, CPHIMS, in an article published in HIMSS FutureCare.
However, continuous electronic monitoring of these patient populations presents considerable challenges to many hospitals and health systems, including lack of continuous bedside monitoring devices, alarm fatigue and lack of coverage for patients at risk.
Zaleski explores the technology, staff education, and real-time data requirements necessary to improve this patient safety threat.

Bernoulli CIO’s new article in Health Data Management on MDI
Bernoulli’s CIO John Zaleski has a new article in Health Data Management on MDI. He writes: “Historically, medical device data has been isolated or trapped in silos…[but] key advances have put medical devices on the precipice of an evolutionary leap from charting and documentation to active patient monitoring and intervention.” Read the whole thing at the link below.

Healthcare Focus is Making Interoperability a Reality
Healthcare Leaders Making Headway in Making True Interoperability a Reality
Collaboration is essential as interoperability goals become more defined
In the May 26th article by Rajiv Leventhal for Healthcare Informatics the focus is interoperability. John Zaleski, Ph.D., executive vice president and chief informatics officer at Bernoulli, talks about the current state of “True” interoperability for U.S. healthcare and where it will be in 5 to 10 years.

Middleware Matters published in March issue of For the Record
A new article entitled “Middleware Matters” Bernoulli Chief Informatics Officer John Zaleski, PhD, CAP CPHIMS was published in the March 2016 issue of For the Record.
Absent universal device standardization, hospitals require middleware. However, critical distinctions will define how those data can be used.
According to John Zaleski – MDDS middleware will continue to be necessary to pull data from certain classes of medical devices using the vendor’s specification, then translate and communicate them to an EHR, data warehouse, or other information system to support use cases such as clinical charting, clinical decision support, and research.
