Helping you stop healthcare-associated infections

Our first system to combine live clinical information with genetic fingerprinting of bacterial pathogens, Philips IntelliSpace Epidemiology supports efforts to contain and eliminate healthcare-associated infections (HAI). Clinical informatics (such as patient location, movement through the hospital, caregivers, exposure to devices, etc.) and pathogen genome analysis combine in a powerful tool with an easy-to-read interface and partially automated workflow to enhance the effectiveness of infection control and prevention professionals. Advanced algorithms find and highlight possible infection clusters, organizing and transforming your infection control workflow by putting actionable data you need to assess HAIs at your fingertips. We call this powerful synergy of clinical informatics and genetic analysis “Precision Infection Prevention.”^*

*With the phrase “Precision Infection Prevention” Philips is referring to our support of the industry’s transition from discussing prevention control to infection prevention. IntelliSpace Epidemiology is not intended to prevent infections, but to support preventionists in their efforts to stop the spread of HAI.
