An openEHR based infection control system to support monitoring of nosocomial bacterial clusters and contacts

Early outbreak detection, allowing rapid intervention, is essential to reduce the burden of healthcare-associated pathogen transmission, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. Digital, routine data-driven solutions are promising, but often proprietary, non-interoperable, or limited in functional scope. The open-source Smart Infection Control System (SmICS) offers automatic calculations and interactive views on patients’ movement and lab data, e…
