MedMined Infection Surveillance System

MedMined Services uses computerized artificial intelligence to filter out patterns of hospital-borne infections and antibiotic resistance from a hospital's lab results and patient data. This service supports infection control staff and assists in the detection and tracking of hospitalized patients with significant contagious infections. Three basic activities by the infection control team form the first line of defense in controlling hospital infections: continuous surveillance, investigation of unusual patterns identified by MedMined, and aggressive prevention programs to improve practices and reduce risk to our 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.
