Inovalon, a provider of cloud-based platforms, has launched an infection surveillance and reporting solution that provides healthcare facilities with data-driven insights to empower real-time identification of infections demonstrating antibiotic resistance and virus outbreaks such as COVID-19.
InfectionWatch, a module of the Inovalon ONE platform brought to market through the ABILITY provider network, leverages real-time EHR data and predictive analytics to enable seamless monitoring and tracking of infections.It provides detailed evaluations of infection trends by category, type and culture organism, as well as predictive insights into patient-specific and infection-specific progressions and risk rates.
Additional capabilities allow provider facilities to track the presence and prevalence of healthcare-acquired infections, community-acquired infections, and present-on-admission infections to identify and recommend appropriate and timely prevention interventions.
The new solution aims to help facilities meet regulatory requirements and improve quality outcomes while improving efficiency. Leveraging this comprehensive analytical insight, facilities can track targeted infections, identify potential cases of antimicrobial resistance, monitor and report adverse events, and deploy more effective control measures.
“Given the heightened focus on infection prevalence, tracking, and treatment within the marketplace, we are excited to offer InfectionWatch to our provider network to help them improve both patient care and infection control,” said Bud Meadows, president and general manager of Inovalon’s provider business. “This new capability comes at an important time for our clients and we are pleased to be seeing strong market demand.”
