Julie McCurley-Smith, RN, MS, CIC, Infection Prevention Manager, Norman Regional Health System, discusses how Sentri7 brings efficiency and insight to infection prevention efforts, revolutionizing their routine tasks and improving patient outcomes.
Norman Regional Health System (NRHS) is a multi-site system that serves communities throughout south-central Oklahoma. Utilizing advanced technology to bolster their infection prevention program, Sentri7 Infection Prevention is their 'extra pair of eyes.' Long hours spent sifting through patients' data are now efficiently utilized to analyze risks and implement systematic prevention protocols.
Prior to implementing Sentri7, the infection prevention team would manually generate reports from the EHR, print the reports, and identify patients who required intervention or met the criteria for healthcare-acquired infections. With Sentri7, the Norman Regional team could spend less time on reporting and more time rounding across facilities.
