Abstract
The early detection of infectious disease outbreaks plays a key role for infection control professionals (ICPs) in a hospital in order to initiate infection control measures. Hospital information systems do not offer ordinarily support in this field. We identified the need for an easy to use, web-based, electronic system to detect unusual clusters of positive microbiology results.
