Abstrakt: Infection control in the healthcare setting is an essential component for patient safety and quality of care. To assist with daily infection control functions, we have implemented an alert in the Vigilens Health Monitor (a clinical decision support system at our institution) for real-time detection and notification of positive infection cases in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
