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

In The HIPUS 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 Mark Sorensen reveals how these challenges are symptoms of a deeper issue: outdated, inefficient information systems that overwhelm doctors, compromise care, and inflate costs.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 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 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 Revolution offers a compelling and understandable roadmap to smarter, safer, and more sustainable care-starting now.
