Produced in partnership with Spacelabs Healthcare, this short film tells the story behind the Rothman Index — a patient acuity model built to detect deterioration early and give care teams the chance to act before a crisis.

Through the personal story of co-developer Dr. Michael Rothman and the clinical voice of Daniella Johnson, a nurse specialist at Northside Hospital, the film reveals how data and instinct work hand in hand. What began as a son’s loss turned into a powerful clinical tool now improving patient outcomes, reducing code blues, and supporting earlier interventions, from critical response to palliative care.

As part of Goodfellow’s work in healthcare video production, this piece reflects our mission to tell human-first stories that highlight innovation, impact, and the people driving progress from within the system.
