Helping prevent and manage infections

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) exact a significant human and economic toll. An estimated 271 patients per day with HAI die in the United States. Moreover, these infections are associated with $12,197 in incremental cost, causing a significant drag on hospital operating margins and payer cost containment.1

Cardinal Health provides technology-based services that have proven effective at helping hospitals reduce infection rates, as evidenced by many published client attestations (19), studies (2) and scientific conference presentations (28). MedMined™ services enable hospitals to produce measurable cost savings and quality of care improvements by providing:

  • Real-time access to and management of infection-related data 
  • Patented data mining that detects specific opportunities for improvement
  • Context-specific, evidence-based best practices
  • Clinical education and support to help address known issues and adopt best practices
  • Benchmarking and outcomes measurement to track progress
  • Financial reporting to demonstrate the importance of infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship
