Improving the work efficiency of healthcare-associated infection surveillance using electronic medical records

Highlights • We develop an integrated surveillance system (called iHAUTISIS) for improving the work efficiency of infection control. • The iHAUTISIS can automatically collect surveillance data from EMRs and detect infected cases. • Compare to the existing surveillance system, the iHAUTISIS can reduc...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We develop an integrated surveillance system (called iHAUTISIS) for improving the work efficiency of infection control. • The iHAUTISIS can automatically collect surveillance data from EMRs and detect infected cases. • Compare to the existing surveillance system, the iHAUTISIS can reduce 39% of an ICP's surveillance time for each patient.
