MedMined Infection Surveillance System

Using computerized artificial intelligence to filter out patterns of hospital-borne infections and antibiotic resistance from the hospital’s lab results and patient data, MedMined Services is designed to support infection control efforts at the hospital. The goal of MedMined is to help infection control staff detect and track hospitalized patients with significant contagious infections. Continuous surveillance, investigations into unusual patterns identified by MedMined, and aggressive prevention programs not only serve as the first line of defense for controlling hospital infections, but help reduce risk for all patients.

Joint Commission Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requires proactive reporting and prevention of medical complications. Hospital-required infections have a direct impact on the quality of care a hospital provides and, by extension, on the hospital's accreditation. Each hospital-acquired infection is an unexpected outcome. MedMined provides the infection control staff with current, actionable information that improves patient safety.
