Your digital epidemiologist. Every patient, 24/7.
Vantix applies NHSN surveillance definitions to every patient, around the clock, using the data your hospital already holds. It shows its working, and your team reviews only the cases that need judgement.
CLABSI, CAUTI, ventilator-associated events and surgical site infections.

why it matters
Give your infection preventionists their time back for prevention.
Applying NHSN definitions by hand means hours of chart review for every positive culture: which devices were in, for how long, on which unit, and whether the organism counts. Vantix does that work for every patient, every day, so your team spends its time where infections are prevented: on the wards.
Flags, or determinations?
| Flagging systems | Vantix | |
|---|---|---|
| What it tells you | A patient might have an infection | Whether NHSN criteria are met, and why |
| Who adjudicates | The infection preventionist, every case | Vantix, with your team reviewing only ambiguous or missing data |
| Complex cases | Left for manual review | Multiple devices, removals, transfers and device windows resolved from the data |
| Evidence | A flag to investigate | A full trail: organism, device log, timeline, attribution |
| Benchmark | Built around US reporting | An SIR against the NHSN baseline, without reporting to NHSN |
one answer, no debate
Stop debating if this patient is infected.
When an infection is called, a physician may disagree with the infection preventionist: the patient didn't look infected, the line wasn't the cause, the culture was a contaminant. Each dispute means chart reviews, meetings and strained relationships, and leaves leadership unsure which number to trust.
Surveillance definitions aren't clinical diagnoses, and that's the point. The question isn't whether the patient is infected, but whether the case meets the definition. Vantix applies the same NHSN rules to every case and shows the evidence. The answer is criteria met or not.
CLABSI · LCBI 1
criteria metThe same rule, every case. Nothing to debate.
Saving time
No case-by-case debates, re-reviews or meetings to settle a determination.
Saving face
No one overrules a colleague. The definition decides, and the evidence is on the screen.
Saving doubt
Leadership trusts the numbers, because every case is judged by the same rule.
how it works
Watch. Apply. Show. Measure.
Watch
Vantix reads admissions and transfers, devices, microbiology, vital signs, antimicrobials and surgical procedures as they arrive, and builds each patient's timeline.
Apply
It applies NHSN definitions for CLABSI, CAUTI, ventilator-associated events and surgical site infections, including device days, device windows after removal, and the transfer rule for attribution.
Show
Every determination comes with its evidence: the organism, the device log, the timeline and why the event qualifies. Cases with ambiguous or missing data go to your team to confirm.
Measure
Infections and device days roll up into rates and an SIR against the NHSN baseline, by unit, so you can track your trend over time.
a complex case
A complex case, resolved from the data.
A 72-year-old patient is admitted to ICU with a central line, a urinary catheter and an endotracheal tube.
benchmark without reporting
Measure against the world's reference, on your own terms.
Vantix calculates your SIR against the NHSN baseline: the infections you had, compared with the number expected. In many hospitals in Asia and the Middle East, rates start above the US baseline. What matters is your direction, month by month and unit by unit.
connected to prevention
Infections, beside the practice behind them.
Because Vantix shares a platform with hand hygiene, IPC audits and post-discharge monitoring, every infection sits beside the practice that might have prevented it: hand hygiene on the unit, central line bundle audits, and wound follow-up after discharge for surgical site infections.
For surgical site infections, post-discharge monitoring follows wounds home.

faq
Questions infection control teams ask
Does Vantix replace our infection preventionists? +
No. It does the surveillance so they can focus on prevention, and it hands them the cases that need judgement.
Do we need to report to NHSN? +
No. Vantix uses NHSN definitions and the NHSN baseline, without reporting to NHSN.
Which infections does it cover? +
CLABSI, CAUTI, ventilator-associated events and surgical site infections.
How do we know a determination is right? +
Every one shows its evidence: the organism, the devices, the timeline and why it qualifies.
Is Vantix a clinical decision support tool? +
No. Vantix applies surveillance definitions for quality review and prevention. It is not a diagnostic or treatment tool, and it doesn't replace clinical judgement.
What data does it need? +
Admissions and transfers, devices, microbiology, vital signs, antimicrobials and surgical procedures, connected through your hospital systems.
Our rates are higher than the US baseline. Is that a problem? +
No. Use the SIR to track your own trend; the direction matters more than the starting point.
How is it priced? +
