Three VigiLanz products were recognized in the "2019 Best in KLAS: Software and Services" report, released on January 31:
VigiLanz Dynamic Infection Control Monitor
Earning a score of 90.6, the Dynamic Infection Control Monitor is a seamless, real-time automated monitoring system that works with an organization's standard EHR system. Its automatic exception-based alert system puts all patient records under continuous surveillance to alert decision makers in real time of potential infections, drug-bug mismatches, MDROs, isolation candidates, organism clusters, conditions of concern and reportable infections. The surveillance is based on a sophisticated set of customizable rule engines.
VigiLanz Dynamic PharmacoVigilance
Earning a score of 93.0, Dynamic PharmacoVigilance acts as a bridge between a hospital's pharmacy and lab information systems, automating the comparison of patients' drug usage with lab results, then presenting the potential for Adverse Drug Event reduction. Based on the system's built-in rule sets or hospital-specific guidelines, it automatically generates warnings and alerts that help clinicians make appropriate drug therapy decisions.
VigiLanz Antimicrobial Stewardship
Earning a score of 94.6, the Antimicrobial Stewardship product monitors antimicrobial therapy to ensure appropriate use, including unnecessary antibiotic therapy, de-escalation opportunities, positive rapid diagnostic test results, and opportunities for antibiotic "time-outs." The Antimicrobial Stewardship dashboard shows usage and resistance trends across the organization, is Meaningful Use 3 certified, and provides direct reporting to the Centers for Disease Control's National Healthcare Safety Network.
"It's an honor to be recognized by KLAS as a leader in multiple categories for the second time, validating the confidence and trust we know our customers have in our clinical surveillance products," said VigiLanz Chairman and CEO David Goldsteen, MD.
