Doctor
Starts the episode and knows the order has entered the workflow.
Time-critical care, coordinated
The order is written.
The clock is already running.
STAT-60 coordinates doctors, nurses and pharmacy around one shared 60-minute window — from a time-critical antimicrobial order to administration at the bedside.
One patient. One episode. One visible clock.

Doctor order receivedEvery minute matters.
The problem
60 minutes is the target.
109 minutes is the reality.
A 2025 Tygerberg Hospital study found a median sepsis antimicrobial hangtime of 109 minutes. Of evaluable sepsis prescriptions, only 23.2% were administered within 60 minutes.

60 minThe clinical target
The prescription is only the beginning.
Once a STAT antimicrobial is ordered, responsibility moves across people, locations and systems. The doctor may not know whether pharmacy has received it. The nurse may not know it is ready. Nobody has one live view of how much time remains.
That coordination gap is what STAT-60 attacks.The solution
Make the delay visible.
Then make it actionable.
STAT-60 creates one live episode around every time-critical antimicrobial order.
-
Prescribe
Doctor starts a STAT-60 episode. Clock starts automatically.
-
Coordinate
Nursing and pharmacy see the same patient, priority and remaining time.
-
Act
The episode moves from New → In Progress → Ready → Attend Now.
-
Complete
Administration is timestamped at the bedside. Delays keep their context.
No chasing. No guessing. No invisible queue.
One shared picture
Everyone sees the same 60 minutes.

What STAT-60 is
Not another hospital information system.
STAT-60 does not replace prescribing systems, pharmacy systems or clinical judgement. It sits across the hand-offs between them and answers one much simpler question:
“Has this patient received the treatment yet?”

Designed around a measured care gap
Built around real South African data.
A 2025 point-prevalence study at Tygerberg Hospital measured antimicrobial prescribing and administration in neonatal and paediatric inpatients. In sepsis cases, median hangtime was 109 minutes and only 23.2% of evaluable prescriptions were administered within 60 minutes.
The researchers specifically recommended informing nursing staff when STAT antimicrobial orders are written to improve timely administration.
