Development of a real-time and automated ventilator-associated event intelligent surveillance system

MacKay Memorial Hospital

MacKay Memorial Hospital integrated the Physician Order System, Laboratory Information System, HIS System, Respiratory Therapy System to develop the intelligent surveillance system based on the definition of the ventilator-associated event and the conditions of the standard workflows. The Function of the system is listed as follows: 1. Inquiry Function: The function can specify the time interval and ward to not only inquire the patient information with a forward-looking method about the current condition but also search for the historical data. 2. Export Function: The patient data retrieved through the Inquiry Function can be exported as a batch into an Excel report. 3. Prompt Function: When a doctor logs in the system, the system will search for the responsible patient of the doctor and prompt the information whether the patient was marked as “VAC” the previous calendar day.
