Infonaut Intelligent Platform is the reason Infonaut was created. After witnessing the SARS crisis firsthand, Matt McPherson and Niall Wallace realized they had the knowledge and skills to fill a critical gap in disease monitoring and management.
The Infonaut Intelligent Platform suite is the resulting product: map-based decision-making tools for disease surveillance and emergency preparedness, planning and response.
Infonaut Intelligent Platform matches statistical surveillance data to the spatial techniques which bring that data to life.
Most of the critical, essential information in disease monitoring and healthcare emergencies have a geographic component. Infonaut Intelligent Platform merges those geographies with real time data. The resulting intuitive, information-rich interface quickly disseminates that data to those who need to know.
A graphical display of an actual or predicted infection spread is just what is needed to ensure an effective response: information that is accurate, predictive, immediate and which presents all the decision makers with the same information, represented in the same way.
A sample of the areas Infonaut Intelligent Platform can help your organization explore:
- near or real-time disease mapping in hospitals for superior outbreak management
- the ability to visualize infection control and coordinate resources across hospitals, healthcare systems, and service areas
- tracking patients, staff and assets over time to monitor and analyze movement and interaction
- simulating the impact of a pandemic on a current system
- identifying weak spots in the responsiveness of the system, and the concrete steps for how to improve
- the use of RFID Active Tags to enable real-time monitoring and response
- driving your strategic planning on how to get ahead of a disease outbreak: using syndromic surveillance techniques to predict outbreaks before they happen, determining which preventative measures will be effective
A few of the benefits of implementing an Intelligent Platform solution are:
- saving money and managing liability
- improving patient safety and helping save lives
- increasing operational capacity and efficiency
- better performance and accountability reporting
Examples of modules already in place in the Intelligent Platform software are infection control, performance management, eReferral and patient flow. Contact us to discuss your specfic needs and for more information on Infonaut Intelligent Platform.
"C. difficile spreads to 19 hospitals in Ontario" "Ontario's battle with C. difficile has spread to 19 hospitals in as many months, according to new figures that show the number of reported outbreaks is triple what was previously known." "Superbug in hospital outbreak 'has same death rate as smallpox'" "Experts fear the strain of Clostridium difficile that has killed eight people at the Vale of Leven Hospital, and been involved in the deaths of eight more, is as deadly as smallpox. The strength of the 027 strain is under investigation, but the rate of fatalities in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde hospital, in West Dunbartonshire, has horrified bacteriologists." "Why the delay on C. difficile?" "A deadly new strain of a superbug called C. difficile is gaining a grip in Ontario hospitals and causing patients to worry that being hospitalized could literally be a cure worse than their disease...So it is good news that Health Minister George Smitherman has finally acted on the warnings. Smitherman earlier this month said he would require hospitals to report outbreaks of C. difficile by the end of the year. Then, after days of relentless questioning by the opposition at Queen's Park, Smitherman this week moved that deadline up to Sept. 30." |
