Computerised Surveillance of Invasive Fungal Infections in Hospitals using existing Hospital Information Systems

接受器官移植或癌症化疗的患者容易受到真菌引起的感染。医院爆发了与施工有关的真菌感染。由于其巨大的健康和经济成本，需要对这些感染进行监测。我们的目标是建立一个计算机化的系统，允许实时识别真菌感染，从而改善患者的预后，早期识别医院爆发和节省成本。

Patients undergoing organ transplants or chemotherapy for cancer are susceptible to infections caused by fungi. Hospital outbreaks of fungal infections related to construction have occurred. Monitoring of these infections is required due to their considerable heath and economic costs. We aim to build a computerised system allowing for the real-time identification of fungal infections, leading to improved outcomes for patients, early recognition of hospital outbreaks and cost-savings.
