SafetySurveillor™

Manage and eliminate infections with actionable alerts, analysis and reports through automatic data collection and analytical routines that integrate patient, laboratory and pharmacy data.

In hospitals alone, Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) account for an estimated 2 million infections, 90,000 deaths and $4.5 billion in excess health care costs annually. Such staggering numbers have intensified demands from regulatory, government and watchdog agencies on healthcare organizations around the country to decrease the number of HAI occurrences and their associated costs.

Premier's SafetySurveillor™ – Infection Control (a former Cereplex product) provides infection control professionals with an effective web-based tool for managing your organization's infection control surveillance, prevention and reporting efforts.

Key Features:

• Arm infection control professionals with data and real-time tools needed to fight the battle against HAIs
• Rapidly detect clusters and outbreaks with automatic alerts
• Immediately notify infection control teams of potential problems, facilitating rapid intervention and investigation
• Automate house-wide surveillance, investigation efforts, NHSN benchmarking, and facilitate state and local public reporting needs
• Provide configurable routine and ad hoc reporting that include: antibiograms, exposure management, rate reports, trend analyses, on demand queries and committee, executive team and board reports
• Offer a unique combination of functionality, ease of installation and low impact on scarce resources, initially and long term
• Facilitate integration of the ICP into the clinical care team
• Re-direct ICP efforts toward infection prevention and impact and improve ICP team communications and decision-making

With Premier’s SafetySurveillor system, hospitals can identify patient incidents relating to the 5 Million Lives Campaign to review in the Global Trigger Tool.
