ICNet – Enterprise Monitor
Surveillance is seen as the cornerstone of effective infection prevention and control practice ii, iii, iv and has traditionally been a repetitive, time-consuming, manual review of computerized microbiology reports, coupled with other laboratory and patient care information extracted from a variety of sources. Copied and pasted into spreadsheets, this raw data does not easily translate into analytics or improved processes of care, and the data entry is often
error-prone as it relies on individual staff members to recognize patterns that may indicate infection transmission.
