Infection Control Assistant

Power Your Infection Prevention Program

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that every year, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) impact 1.7 million patients—and about 99,000 people die as a result. HAIs also threaten the fiscal health of hospitals, adding about $26-33 billion in total costs each year.¹ The TheraDoc Infection Control Assistant helps hospitals address this critical healthcare issue.

The Infection Control Assistant™ provides continuous surveillance, real-time alerts, and timely analysis about the infections that threaten patients. With the most comprehensive interfaces in the industry—including laboratory, pharmacy, admission/discharge/transfer, patient demographics and vital signs, radiology, and surgery—there is no more hunting and gathering data. No more manual analysis of information that's two months old. TheraDoc provides the right information at the right time to make the right clinical decisions, leaving more time for educational activities and interventions that are critical in preventing the spread of infections.
