The importance of infection prevention and control in hospitals: Pratt Regional’s success with Sentri7

Before implementing Sentri7, manual processes and excessive paper-based tasks left teams overwhelmed. Now, with streamlined workflows and real-time insights, staff members have the “breathing room” to prioritize high-risk patients, address urgent clinical projects, and dedicate more time to direct patient care.

Aligning care teams with infection prevention and control tools

Sentri7 Infection Prevention has also fostered better communication and collaboration among healthcare teams. Carrington noted how the tool ensures everyone is “on the same page with patient care,” enabling faster and more accurate decision-making. This synchronization across departments has directly contributed to improved patient safety and satisfaction.

Clinical impact of infection prevention and control in hospitals

The dynamic capabilities of Sentri7 extend beyond operational benefits to significantly improve clinical outcomes. Carrington recounted a notable instance where the system detected a serious infection in a patient and prevented the administration of an inappropriate antibiotic. The rapid identification and intervention saved the patient from adverse outcomes and underscored the critical role of advanced clinical surveillance in modern healthcare.
