NHS to track wider range of infections - ICNet users meet this requirement already

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Mandatory reports to give patients more information and drive down infections are on the rise in the UK,
NHS patients are set to get more access to a wider range of information about healthcare associated infections in a drive to improve quality of care, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley announced today.

ICNet users are well placed to continue to meet the demands set to them by the Department of Health as all micro-organisms provided from the laboratory can be automatically imported into ICNet for surveillance and reporting.

Over 60% of UK trusts use ICNet already so the provision of this data will be seamless and easy to perform.
