This article explains the experience of using electronic medical record reports for symptom surveillance and highlights the significant time decrease in data collection through the application of technology.
Utilizing technology can increase efficiency for infection prevention data collection. The purpose of this arti-cle is to explain our experience using electronic medical record (EMR) reports for symptom surveillance to increase understanding of how technology enhances infection prevention abilities. The new EMR report method took on average just over 8 minutes a week to run compared to the traditional manual method which took 7 hours a week indicating a major time decrease for data collection.
