HAIs are a critical threat
HAIs not only threaten patient safety, but they are an unpredictable and costly expense for healthcare organizations. IntelliSpace Epidemiology can help.
Paper reveals advantages of applying genomics to
the identification of bacterial transmissions
An important paper in Nature Scientific Reports describes Philips’ new, powerful technique to carry out the task of comparing large groups of bacterial genomes rapidly and prospectively to parse related from unrelated strains. The study results revealed that Philip’s new method was more accurate at recognizing related bacterial strains in analysis of both prospective and retrospective data. It had substantial advantages in accurate, prospective analysis of genome data, thereby making it possible to identify bacterial transmissions sooner after they occur.

Proactive longitudinal evaluation of healthcare-associated infections
Precision infection prevention holds the promise to transform infection control practice from a highly retrospective discipline to a field that is proactive and innovative.
Genomics + AI can make a difference
Applying the new science of Precision Infection Prevention can help you address your quality, cost, and efficiency goals.
