The HIPUS Revolution

Smarter healthcare IT is the solution to three interrelated problems: widespread physician burnout, uneven care quality, and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

In The HIPUS (R) Revolution, emergency physician and healthcare IT innovator Dr. Mark Sorensen reveals how these challenges are symptoms of a deeper issue: outdated, inefficient information systems that overwhelm doctors, compromise care, and inflate costs.

Research shows that nearly half of all physicians in the U.S.-and many abroad-have experienced burnout serious enough to impact the quality of care. While many patients still receive excellent treatment, our healthcare system struggles to deliver that same standard of high-quality care to everyone. At the same time, rising healthcare costs are placing growing pressure on families and the broader economy.

Dr. Sorensen introduces a breakthrough solution: the HIPUS (R) system, which uses patented, color-assisted, Bayesian-like analysis to help physicians:



Fully process diagnostic information
Integrate use of all patient and care data during decision-making
Communicate and document care more easily and effectively

By restoring cognitive clarity, diagnostic confidence, and autonomy to physicians, the HIPUS (R) system addresses burnout at its root-while improving outcomes and lowering costs.

Designed for emergency departments but adaptable across care settings, this transformative IT also supports diagnosis-related, doctor-nurse collaboration and enhances the integration of AI and machine learning tools.

This book provides a way for physician and non-physician readers to propel implementation of the IT described. The better readers understand the need for such IT, the better they can advocate for its use.

Whether you're a clinician, hospital leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of healthcare, The HIPUS (R) Revolution offers a compelling and understandable roadmap to smarter, safer, and more sustainable care-starting now.
