The controls in place for infection control in the United States are not currently working as any of us would like, as nearly two-thirds of healthcare organizations consider themselves unprepared for an epidemic outbreak. With this type of evidence, it is apparent that if not having the right tools to control infections will put your organization at risk for exposure to large expenses attributable to non-compliance with healthcare standards, potential legal liability, and absorbing non-reimbursable HAI treatment costs.
Understand the extent of infectious disease exposureWith InSites, you can monitor the location and all interactions among patients, staff members, and equipment without disruption to the process of care delivery. This data is used to quickly and accurately provide meaningful information to care givers. For example, in the event where a patient tests positive for a contagious disease, staff can instantly access and use a report identifying all locations of people and equipment the identified patient came in contact with. Care providers are able to use this information to take appropriate actions to contain the spread of the infectious diseases.
