infection prevention — ipc suite

Less time collecting data. More time preventing infections.

The IPC Suite puts every audit beside the infections it should prevent, ward by ward, so your team knows where to act.

Hand hygiene, environmental hygiene, every IPC audit, HAI surveillance and post-discharge monitoring, on one platform.

Ward 7: practice slipping where infections are rising.

the evidence

What the evidence says.

01

Half the team's time goes on data.

Infection preventionists spend about half their time collecting and analysing infection data, leaving little for the wards.

Stone PW et al., American Journal of Infection Control, 2009 (median share of time)

02

Surveillance and feedback are the weakest links.

WHO says surveillance should guide where to intervene, and that audit results should be fed back quickly. Yet fewer than half of countries report infection surveillance at all.

03

Practice and infections work best together.

Across 86 intensive care units in 15 developing countries, pairing practice audits with infection surveillance, and feeding results back to each unit, was associated with far fewer infections and deaths.

54%

fewer bloodstream infections

58%

fewer related deaths

04

Manual surveillance varies.

Infection definitions are open to interpretation, so manual results differ between reviewers and between hospitals.

01

Gives the team its time back

Audits are done digitally on the ward, and HAI surveillance runs automatically for every patient. No more compiling.

02

Puts practice beside infections

Hand hygiene, environmental hygiene, isolation, device bundles and every other IPC audit sit next to the infection rates they should prevent, ward by ward.

03

Feeds results back to each ward

Every ward sees its own picture, so problems are fixed where they start.

04

Applies the same rules every time

Surveillance follows NHSN definitions consistently, so results can be trusted and compared.

Your team still decides where to send isolation, cleaning, antimicrobial review and training. Now it decides with the evidence in front of it.
