Precision Antimicrobial Stewardship

PraediAlert plays a crucial role in antimicrobial stewardship by providing real-time customizable alerts related to infectious diseases and pharmacy.

This enables clinicians to proactively adjust prescribing practices and optimize antimicrobial use, drawing on high-resolution data from the Bitscopic platform to reduce the risk of spreading resistance and significantly improve patient outcomes with unparalleled precision.

PraediAlert further supports your antimicrobial stewardship programs with:

  • Alerts for drug-bug mismatches and broad-spectrum antibiotic orders to support timely intervention in addition to many other built-in and customizable alerts
  • Intervention reporting and tracking
  • Adherence monitoring
  • Tracking antimicrobial use
  • Creating antibiograms in seconds
  • Therapeutic drug monitoring tools
A Tool for All Clinicians

For pharmacists and clinicians, PraediAlert can access critical data and analytics so front-line staff can quickly assess and respond in areas with tools such as:

 

  • Customizable alerts or reports
  • Anticoagulation monitoring
  • Pharmacokinetics monitoring
  • Emergency department lab/culture follow-up
  • Inpatient rounding tools
  • Women’s health tool
  • Access to all inpatient and outpatient medication use data
  • Access to historical data for quality improvement/research projects
Early Detection and Containment of Outbreaks
Through automated data analysis on antibiotic use and resistance, PraediAlert efficiently pinpoints trends and anomalies – such as a surge in multidrug-resistant organisms – streamlining the detection process.

PraediAlert promptly notifies infection preventionists immediately when there is a spike in reportable diseases such as Candida auris.

This early warning system enables rapid implementation of:

 

  • Containment strategies
  • Isolation protocols
  • Targeted treatment interventions

By identifying outbreaks at the onset, PraediAlert helps prevent the spread of infections, protecting both patients and staff from potential outbreaks.

Advanced Infection Prevention Monitoring

PraediAlert allows infection preventionists to optimize their daily tasks by providing state of the art technology with the ability to:

 

  • Conduct surgical site infection surveillance
  • Identify foley catheters and central lines using natural language processing (NLP)
  • Record and report process surveillance such as hand hygiene and transmission-based precaution observations
  • Obtain historical data for identifying antimicrobial resistance rates, tracking healthcare acquired infection (HAI) and multidrug resistance organism (MDRO) rates, and analyzing respiratory viral data including COVID-19 data from the onset of the pandemic to present
  • Import relevant surveillance designations data from your existing clinical surveillance system

What PraediAlert Can Do

Here’s how PraediAlert can benefit your infection prevention and pharmacy teams:
