HAI Surveillance & Records
Central register for healthcare-associated infection cases with auto-numbered references (HAI/year/000000) and full mail thread tracking.
15 HAI Case TypesClassify cases as CAUTI, CLABSI, CDI, SSI, VAP, MRSA bacteremia, VRE, ESBL, CRE and other bloodstream/urinary/surgical infections.
Patient & Admission LinkageEach case ties to a patient, admission, facility, ward and bed with domain-filtered selection for accurate location tracking.
Onset & Days-After-AdmissionRecords infection onset date/time and auto-computes days after admission to support present-on-admission vs hospital-acquired judgment.
NHSN Classification FlagsMarks community-acquired, hospital-acquired or indeterminate classification and whether the CDC NHSN case definition is met.
Specimen & Culture SourceCaptures the source specimen (blood, urine, sputum, wound, CSF, stool, catheter tip and more) behind each positive culture.
02
Case Workflow & Investigation
Cases move through Open Investigation, Confirmed HAI, Ruled Out, Closed, Reported to NHSN and Reported to KEMRI/MoH statuses.
Confirm / Rule-Out ButtonsOne-click Confirm HAI and Rule Out actions that post a note to the case chatter.
Reported-to-NHSN / KEMRI ActionsEpidemiologist-gated buttons mark closed cases as officially reported to NHSN or to KEMRI/Ministry of Health.
Initiate Isolation from CaseLaunches a pre-filled isolation precaution order carrying the patient, admission and causative organism from the case.
Notification & Treatment FlagsCheckboxes record clinician notification, isolation initiation and treatment started for each case.
Investigation Notes & ActivitiesRich-text investigation notes plus scheduled activities via the standard activity mixin on every case.
03
Antimicrobial Stewardship
Auto-numbered (AMS/year) antibiotic review records linking patient, admission, prescriber and steward.
Antibiotic Regimen CaptureRecords the antibiotic product, planned duration, daily dose and route (IV, PO, IM, SC, topical, inhaled).
De-Escalation TrackingFlags de-escalation recommended/done, the drug de-escalated to, and auto-computes days from prescription to de-escalation.
IV-to-PO Switch TrackingRecords IV-to-oral switch recommendations and completion to shorten IV therapy and length of stay.
Eight Intervention TypesRecommends continue, stop-no-infection, narrow/broaden spectrum, dose change, IV-to-PO switch, add drug or drug-level monitoring.
Intervention Acceptance & OutcomeCaptures whether the clinician accepted the intervention and the clinical outcome including C. difficile development.
04
Isolation & Precautions
Auto-numbered (ISO/year) isolation orders tying patient, admission and room/bed to a precaution regimen.
Eight Isolation TypesContact, droplet, airborne, combined contact+droplet/airborne, neutropenic/protective, enteric or none.
PPE & Precaution RequirementsDefines required PPE plus movement restriction, dedicated equipment and family/visitor education flags.
Room Signage WorkflowPost Signage button marks signage posted and logs it to the chatter for auditability.
End-of-Isolation RecordingComplete and Cancel actions with end date/time and end reason (cleared, transferred, discharged, deceased, declassified).
Auto-Close Expired IsolationHourly cron completes active isolation orders whose end date/time has passed.
05
MDRO Surveillance & Pathogens
Auto-numbered (MDRO/year) screening records for multidrug-resistant organism surveillance swabs.
Swab Site & Reason CaptureRecords swab site (nares, axilla, perineum, rectum, throat, multiple) and reason (admission, contact, periodic, post-outbreak).
Screening Result & ActionCaptures positive/negative/indeterminate results and action taken (isolation, decolonization, surveillance, treatment).
Five-State Screening WorkflowCollected, Lab Processing, Result Received, Action Taken and Completed states with dedicated buttons.
Pathogen Master CatalogOrganism library with common/scientific name, gram stain, category and internal code; 16 organisms seeded on install.
MDRO ClassificationFlags each organism as MRSA, VRE, ESBL, CRE, XDR Acinetobacter, pan-resistant or MDR-TB with badge display naming.
06
Antibiogram & Susceptibility
Per-isolate susceptibility lines capturing organism, antibiotic, and S/I/R result linked to the surveillance case.
MIC & Test MethodRecords MIC value and testing method (disk diffusion, VITEK, E-Test, broth microdilution) with test date and lab facility.
Free-Text Antibiotic FallbackAllows a free-text antibiotic name when the drug is not in the product catalog.
Susceptibility Library ViewDedicated configuration view listing all antibiogram results across cases for cumulative antibiogram analysis.
07
Outbreak Management
Named outbreak records with facility, ward, suspected/confirmed/ended timestamps and full audit trail.
Seven Outbreak TypesGastroenteritis, viral/bacterial respiratory, MDRO cluster, sepsis cluster, Candida auris cluster or other.
Linked Case ClusterMany-to-many link of surveillance cases with an auto-computed total case count for the outbreak.
Etiology & Transmission AnalysisRecords case definition, suspected and confirmed etiology organisms, transmission mode and traced source.
Control Measure ApplicationLinks reusable control measures plus free-text measures; 10 measures seeded across isolation, hygiene, staffing and screening.
MoH & WHO Notification FlagsRecords notification to Ministry of Health and WHO for reportable outbreaks.
08
Dashboards, Reports & Analytics
Live indicator feed returning monthly HAI count, active MDRO, isolation, outbreak, hand-hygiene and stewardship metrics.
NHSN-Style Monthly ReportPer-facility monthly indicator report with unique-per-period constraint capturing device-days and infection counts.
Device-Days & Rate InputsRecords central-line, urinary-catheter and ventilator days plus CLABSI, CAUTI, VAP, CDI and MDRO counts for rate denominators.
Antimicrobial Consumption MetricCaptures DDD-per-1000-patient-days antimicrobial consumption and average hand-hygiene compliance.
Auto-Compiled Weekly NHSN DraftWeekly cron compiles/updates a draft NHSN report per facility from live case, audit and MDRO data, idempotently.
Pivot & Graph AnalysisCases, MDRO, stewardship, audits, outbreaks and NHSN reports expose pivot and graph views for trend analysis.
