ADVANCING MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE THROUGH DATA RESEARCH Following “successful” open-heart surgery, Florence A. Rothman died of unrecognized post-operative complications. Her sons, Steven and Michael Rothman, identified this tragic outcome as a problem of the healthcare delivery system. Since that time, they have worked to prevent similar mistakes from happening to others. The Rothmans envisioned a means of detecting medical decline earlier, allowing for greater opportunity to initiate treatment and save patients
Current Initiatives FARI:
Our original investigations during the invention of the Rothman Index were based on the associations between various in-hospital patients’ clinical measurements and the risks of mortality one year after discharge. We discovered that there was an increased risk of mortality associated with values of certain laboratory tests that were considered “normal” by the usual reference levels. This led us to further testing and proposal of a new methodology for determining reference levels based on clinical risks ra
