The implementation of the Infection Control Map—an integrated, visual online information system—enhanced infection control practices and reduced the incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms in a medical intensive care unit

Key Points

• Healthcare-associated MRSA incidence significantly decreased after the implementation of the Infection Control Map.
• Targeted antimicrobial usage decreased, contributing to better patient outcomes and lower mortality rates.
• The approach utilized an integrated visual online information system to streamline infection control efforts.
• These findings highlight the positive impact of technology on healthcare quality, with potential for broader application.
