MINNEAPOLIS, MN , Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VigiLanz, a digital healthcare intelligence firm, announced today that it has earned 2018 Category Leader designations for Infection Control and Clinical Decision Support-Surveillance in the 2018 Best in KLAS: Software and Services report. These mark the second and third KLAS honors in the past year for VigiLanz, which also achieved the top overall satisfaction rating in the “Antimicrobial Stewardship 2017” performance report for its platform, customer partnerships, and dedication to customer service and support.
In the “2018 Best in KLAS: Software and Services,” report, released on January 30, VigiLanz’s Dynamic Infection Control Monitor™ product garnered a score of 90.3 while its Dynamic PharmacoVigilance® product earned an 89.9.
The Category Leader designation is reserved for vendor solutions that lead select market segments in which at least two products meet a minimum level of KLAS Konfidence. Rankings are based on customer surveys of North American hospital and clinic executives, administrators, physicians, nurses, clinicians, and other directors and managers interacting with healthcare equipment solutions.
Dynamic Infection Control Monitor is a seamless, real-time automated monitoring system that works with an organization’s standard EHR system. Via an automatic exception-based alert system, all patient records are under continuous surveillance to alert decision makers in real time to 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 rule engines that can be customized for each hospital.
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, the system automatically generates warnings and alerts that help clinicians make appropriate drug therapy decisions.
“VigiLanz is honored to see our solutions recognized as Category Leaders, particularly as healthcare professionals are the engine that drives KLAS’ impartial research on the software and services used by providers worldwide,” said VigiLanz Chairman and CEO Dr. David Goldsteen, MD, MBA. “Following upon VigiLanz’ recognition by KLAS in 2017 for our Antimicrobial Stewardship products, these additional designations further validate our reputation among clinicians and administrators alike as a company that offers the best, top-performing solutions in the industry.”
