Hospital maps may slash infection spread
NCT ID NCT05612672
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a computer tool that uses maps and location data to help infection preventionists find and stop hospital-acquired infections faster. About 25 infection prevention staff will use the tool and report how easy it is to use and whether it helps them respond more quickly. The goal is to see if adding geography to infection tracking can lower infection rates in hospitals.
