ILLUSTRATIVE WHAT-IF ANALYSIS
| Births per year | Expected HIE | Expected injuries/litigation | Average cost per case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500 | 3.75 | 1.2 | $3.4M |
OPPORTUNITY FOR SAVINGS WITH PERIWATCH VIGILANCE
based on observed reduction in term NICU admissions
Calculations based on sample hospital data and assumed industry metrics related to fetal injury referenced below
Assumptions:
Rate of Hypoxic Ischemic Event (HIE) per 1000 births – 1.5
Observed reduction in term NICU admissions (PeriGen Data) – 33%
Expected rate of persistent injury – 32%
Average cost per case based on internal analysis of health system claims data.
