VLAD CMClinical Monitoring and Investigation Workflow

A system 8 years in the making

The Bundaberg hospital tragedy was the catalyst for the start of a wave of concentrated activities that have now culminated in the development of a world-class clinical monitoring system.

VLAD CM represents the lessons learned from a sustained, systematic investigation into the quality of health interventions across both public and private sectors.

VLAD CM represents the future of clinical monitoring.

Solution Profile: VLAD CM – clinical monitoring

Deploy a near-real time monitoring system across a large number of geographically spread hospitals, giving the best chance of finding suboptimal or exemplary performance as soon as possible and acting on it for the betterment of patient outcomes.

The Challenge


• Built to design patterns proven by state health department

• Provides easily understood graphical overview of clinical outcomes

• Plots cumulative differences between expected vs actual outcomes

• Orchestrates workflow-based investigation processes for the follow-up of flags raised

The Solution…VLAD CM


A VLAD Chart; expected vs actual outcomes


Indicators; Defined by you


Pyramid of Investigation


Dashboard of Flags under Investigation


Workflow – your Policy, your Rules


NHS UK signs reference site agreement for VLAD CM

The NHS IC team took on a three-month Proof of Concept trial and was impressed with the way VLAD CM could be configured with data and data structures specific to the NHS.


With the test period and assessment now completed, they have elected to continue using VLAD CM as a valuable reference site, which will enable them to share what they have learned and provide impartial advice to NHS colleagues.

What our clients have to say about VLAD CM…

“The reality is that the screens users see are quite simple.

Their tasks are clearly displayed on their homepage so they know what to do, and the flags, charts and responses are all located together, so engaging with the data is quick and easy”.

Graham HallManager Clinical Monitoring Team

Queensland Health



"…because of the way the system works it forces organisations to follow up and address any possible issues quickly.

If a trigger is raised by VLAD CM, someone has to physically answer it and actively close it, so there is a greater awareness of what is really happening and why".


Heather DaweClinical Indicator Programme Manager

NHS IC


“Investigations can be written up within the system itself. So, you can easily bring that together with graphs and action plans to create reports for downloading or emailing.

We have also had a very positive response to the transparency of the system’s review process – people like being able to track and review feedback at each stage.”.
