1 Proactively prevent HAIs with infection surveillance software

2 NIP HAIs IN THE BUD Redirect your time to proactively preventing infections instead of just reacting. RL s automated infection surveillance software helps protect your patients from HAIs, and control infections if they occur. Our feature-packed software helps hospitals integrate infection surveillance data. RL equips you with the tools you need for: Infection control & prevention Antimicrobial stewardship Outbreak management Hand hygiene audits Contact tracing Staff health

3 TM FULLY CONFIGURABLE RL software adapts to your organization s needs, so you can keep all of your infection prevention & surveillance data in one place. ROBUST DATA ANALYSIS Keep an eye on everything with isolate trending, and build custom reports for departments, boards and committees. SCALE IT TO YOUR NEEDS RL s software and services can be adjusted to your facility, whether you re a small clinic or a multi-site healthcare system. YOU RE IN GOOD COMPANY More than 1800 healthcare organizations use RL software, including 9 of the top 10 US News & World Report Honor Roll hospitals. INTEGRATED SOLUTION The RL software suite gives you a holistic view of your organization s surveillance data. At any given time, approximately 1 of every 25 hospitalized patients in the US has an HAI. That s nearly 650,000 patients every year. Source: CDC, 2014

4 POWER UP YOUR ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP INITIATIVES Ensure the right drugs are reaching the right patients at the right time and for the right duration. With RL6, you can see all of your antimicrobial use, microbiology and other laboratory results, reports, alerts and ADT information all in one location. INTERVENE TO PREVENT HARM Real-time electronic surveillance limits drug-related adverse events and minimizes the risk of unintended consequences, like C. difficile infections. MONITOR ANTIMICROBIAL UTILIZATION Set your parameters and track by DDD or DOT. Plus, report antimicrobial utilization data directly to the NHSN. REDUCE DRUG SPEND Support effective antibiotic use to improve quality of care and reduce healthcare costs without negatively affecting patient outcomes. CREATE ANTIBIOGRAMS IN SECONDS Equip your ID physicians and pharmacists with the info they need to prescribe the right agent.

5 GET PROACTIVE ABOUT SURVEILLANCE Nobody can be everywhere all at once. But real-time surveillance can get you a lot closer. RL6 surveys your lab results (microbiology), ADT, surgery and pharmacy orders for infection risks. SAVE ON HIDDEN COSTS Money spent on infections is often buried in multiple budgets. Decrease the risk with RL6 and help reduce readmissions, HAIs, adverse patient outcomes and potential lawsuits. ADD ADDITIONAL FEEDS Add feeds as needed including EMR, radiology and other feeds for true corporate surveillance of any condition. TRIAGE INFECTION EVIDENCE RL6 eliminates the noise, and lets you prioritize incoming results that need investigation for potential and confirmed infections. SPOT TRENDS Discover trends, as well as monitor and support your organization s infection protocols, outcomes and processes. BY THE NUMBERS In the US, at least 2 million illnesses each year are caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Source: CDC, 2014

6 IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES HAIs and communicable diseases affect the wellbeing of your patients, the health of your staff and the safety of your facility. But with the right data, you can minimize the risk and stop them from spreading. TRACK STAFF HEALTH Identify the immunizations staff need for specific work (initial and booster doses), and track any reactions. INSTANT CONTACT TRACING Contact tracing reports help IPs prevent and mitigate HAIs, MDROs and communicable diseases from spreading. MANAGE OUTBREAKS Easier outbreak management and detection keeps you organized, with everything you need in RL6. PERFORM HAND HYGIENE AUDITS RL s configurable audit tool lets you survey employees for hand hygiene compliance from your desktop or tablet. Plus, design your own audits. Learn more at rlsolutions.com/clientspotlight We ve customized and tailored RL6 to be exactly what we need. Now, I get notifications about 1 hour after an MDRO culture is finalized. It s really helped us put a plan into place with no wasted time. And RL s customer service is just fantastic. - Dana Schmucker, MSPH, CIC Infection Control System Program Manager Ochsner Clinic Foundation

7 WORK THE WAY YOU NEED TO RL s infection surveillance software doesn t replace infection preventionists it helps them. Spend more time on the work that matters education, rounding and prevention and less time reviewing data. BUILD YOUR OWN REPORTS With RL s powerful DIY report builder, you can create custom reports once and share them automatically with internal & external stakeholders and leadership. GET THE RIGHT DATA Customize forms for automatic and targeted surveillance to triage infection evidence. LINK FILES IN RL6 Share HAI data with your risk management team, and use RL6 data to plan better prevention initiatives with your quality department. CUSTOMIZE SEARCH Configure RL6 search for automatic and targeted surveillance, so you can quickly review infection evidence.
