Stewardship
Stewardship
Stewardship provides patient specific information pulled directly from the EHR.
Stewardship is a clinical cost transparency tool that displays costs of medications, labs, and radiology studies side by side with other clinical data while suggesting lower cost alternatives without interrupting provider workflow.
Please note – what you see in Stewardship may be different than the image above. Items are configurable to be turned on or off based on health system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Stewardship app
What can be found within the At-A-Glance?
At-A-Glance gives users a quick look into the current patient’s clinical data and is configurable based on the additional clinical information sent to IllumiCare. The following clinical information may be found within the At-A-Glance header: Patient Vitals, Patient Devices, Patient’s CMP, Patient’s CBC, Patient’s Input/Output, Patient’s Blood Transfusions, and Timers (patient’s current class/type and length of time). If there is data missing, it is because IllumiCare is not sent that clinical data or the data point has been configured to off within your health system.
What timers can be seen and what are they?
The following timers will be displayed based on the patient’s current patient class/type: Inpatient (Length of Stay based on patient days), Observation (length of time patient has been on observation status), and ED (time since the patient checked in).
How is C Diff % Risk calculated?
This is the iatrogenic C Diff risk, related to current active scheduled medications. Our calculations consider the specific risk that exists for each specific antibiotic and/or protein pump inhibitor as well as the compounding affect that occurs when the patient has been prescribed multiple antibiotics and/or PPIs concurrently.
How is Fall Risk calculated?
The fall risk represents the relative risk of falling based on the intake of scheduled sedatives and opioids if aged 65 or greater. Please note, this calculation only considers current scheduled medications. Medications prescribed as PRN are not currently factored in as a part of this fall risk calculation.
What lab costs are displayed in the Stewardship app?
Lab costs derive from the Medicare Allowable Rate. The costs are not charges or what the patient pays.
How is blood loss calculated?
IllumiCare calculates the total phlebotomy blood draw that occurs based on the average amount of blood that must be drawn for each test ordered. We do consider other factors in our calculation, for example, when multiple lab tests are ordered at the same time, they may leverage the same blood draw.
What Rad costs are displayed in the Stewardship app?
Rad costs derive from the Medicare Allowable Rate. The costs are not charges or what the patient pays.
