Concise healthcare-associated infection reporting and benchmarking with minimal staff resources.

We report on intelligent information technology tools that produce fully-automated surveillance reports of high precision for 12 intensive care units (ICUs) without relevant time expenditure of infection control or ICU staff. This is accomplished by MONI-ICU, a computerized system for automated identification and continuous monitoring of ICU-associated infections, which makes surveillance data readily accessible and presents them in easily perceptible reporting format.
