Long term care facilities are under pressure to improve their management of infection risk,
including COVID-19, healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and their use of
antimicrobial agents.
Bluebird is a proven, cloud based, infection control (IC) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) clinical decision support
system that can, almost instantly, empower your long term care facility
with an advanced solution that will enhance Quality and Safety initiatives, provide standardized guidance, comply with
Regulatory Mandates and facilitate Remote Executive Oversight at a regional and national level.
Modern infection control should encompass more than simple surveillance. The field has become increasingly sophisticated and specialized.
In the United States, CMS now mandate that LTC facilities report using the National Health and Safety Network (NHSN)
which generally requires highly trained personnel (infection preventionists, infectious disease pharmacists and IT specialists),
or a high end clinical decision support system (CDSS) such as Bluebird which not only provides an operational framework that
can be used by LTC nursing staff, but also, if required, enables remote management by specialists.
Bluebird requires no server hardware and
Importantly, Bluebird can function as a stand alone program enabling LTC facilities without existing IT solutions or
infrastructure to benefit from advanced patient safety initiatives, infection control and antimicrobial stewardship.
