Why ICNet?

Healthcare-acquired or nosocomial infections (aka superbugs) are becoming widespread in our hospitals - threatening human lives, causing unnecessary suffering and escalating hospital costs. 
 

In the UK, USA and Europe, the implementation of ICNet's advanced software for the monitoring of HAI is reducing outbreaks, helping provide better patient care and reducing hospital costs.

The evidence of ICNet in hospitals around the world clearly shows why it is the solution of choice and the way of the future. It is a vital link in mornitoring superbugs and reducing their spread in our hospitals. These hospitals are proving that now is the perfect time to take advantage of the power of IT, and apply it in the area of infection control and HAI surveillance.

So why ICNet? The answer is simply - why not!

“Following the implementation of ICNet in our hospital, ICN’s had an average release of 14.5 hours more time per week.”
