A system for the automatic detection and communication of detection of
nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial resistance events in a health
care environment includes an input unit that receives nosocomial
infection and/or antimicrobial resistance related data, an an event
detection machine, and a knowledge discovery unit. The event detection
machine sorts and analyzes the nosocomial infection and/or antimicrobial
resistance related data to automatically generate alerts for isolates
that violate control parameters indicative of a nosocomial infection
and/or antimicrobial resistance event and communicates the alert to a
user.
