Kaiser Permanente Northern California is honored for its life-saving initiative, “Advance Alert Monitor – Automated Early Warning System of Adults at Risk.” Kaiser Permanente developed a predictive analytic system called Advance Alert Monitor (AAM) that proactively identifies patients with a high risk of mortality or transfer to the ICU. Evaluation of the program showed statistically significant decreases in mortality with between 550 to 3,020 lives saved over four years. Data also indicated… Show more

Evaluation of the program showed statistically significant decreases in mortality with between 550 to 3,020 lives saved over four years. Data also indicated improvements in ICU admission rates, length of hospital stay, in-hospital morbidity and mortality within 30 days of an alert. Show less

"In providing quality healthcare, time is of the essence. Failure to identify, communicate, and provide interventions on early clinical indicators of deterioration can lead to delay in care, adverse events, unplanned ICU admissions, and unexpected death. Realizing this need, Kaiser Permanente Northern California developed the Automated Early Warning System of Adults at Risk for In-Hospital Clinical Deterioration Advance Alert Monitor, or AAM program, a predictive analytic scoring system."

Voted intern of the year.

The Meyerhoff Scholars Program offers a different emphasis that focuses on highly able students who aspire to become leading research scientists and engineers. The program is open to people of all backgrounds committed to increasing the representation of minorities in science and engineering.

The Meyerhoff Scholars Program offers a different emphasis that focuses on highly able students who aspire to become leading research scientists and engineers. The program is open to people of all backgrounds committed to increasing the representation of minorities in science and engineering.

In a proven formula for success, the program adheres to 13 key components. Where top scholars at other institutions are motivated by competition, Meyerhoffs rely on mutual support and continually challenge each other to do more, creating an environment that amounts to positive peer pressure. Students are encouraged to form study groups for particular classes within their majors, with Meyerhoff students, or with non-Meyerhoffs. Show less
