AICE is designed for professionals who are dedicated to infection prevention and quality improvement in acute care, long-term care and specialty facilities. AICE helps ICPs and quality control professionals protect patients. Electronically transfer data from your surgical, micro, and ADT systems to save time. Create hundreds of lists, tables, rates, and graphs with precision and ease. Export reports to presentations or data to NHSN. Produce statistical control charts to identify processes or outcomes that require intervention.

AICE

AICE provides you automated tools for infection surveillance, control and prevention; CDC NHSN benchmarking; compliance with The Joint Commission IC surveillance standards; and mandatory reporting of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Customizable data collection

• Conduct targeted or whole-house surveillance for infectious and noninfectious outcomes.
• Use AICE tools to create screen designs for specialized studies, such as quality improvement and outbreak investigations.
• Track processes such as appropriateness and timing of prophylactic antibiotics.
• Prepare for your state's HAI mandatory reporting requirements. Prevent infections and report required data elements to NHSN, while greatly reducing manual data entry. Click here for mandatory reporting information.

• Automatically calculate surgeon-specific surgical site infection (SSI) rates stratified by risk factors from your surgery database. Save hours in manual calculations.
• Use QTrendz® Control Chart software to detect processes or events that are "out of control."
• Distinguish between real problems and normal variations in rates quickly.

• Produce hundreds of ad hoc reports, including line listings, frequency distributions, crosstables, incidence graphs, rate calculations, and monthly device-day rates.
• Transform tabular reports into professional graphs with a mouse click, providing dynamic visual impact.
• Print individual line lists and letters to surgeons for post-op follow-ups.

• Standard Edition – For healthcare facilities not participating in system-wide surveillance. Each location purchases AICE, accesses its own database and analyzes its own data.
• Enterprise Edition – For multi-facility infection control surveillance. The Central Office purchases AICE for participating facilities and maintains one or more AICE databases from a central location. Click here for frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Enterprise Edition.

Automatically compare your rates with a national benchmark database, the Centers for Disease Control NHSN rates. Comparisons of adult surgical site infection rates, and adult and neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia and central line bacteremia rates are available.

AICE Data Transfer Solution eliminates time-consuming manual entry.

• Automatically transfer data from the operating room system into AICE. During data transfer, AICE translates 1000s of procedure codes into 41 NHSN codes. Transfer data real time using a flat file or HL7 data feed.
• Transfer microbiology results and antibiotic susceptibilities into the AICE LabScannerTM database for analysis. Detect probable HAIs. Run batch reports (set up at convenient times) to look for specific organisms and trends. Learn more about LabScanner.
• Export surgical denominator data to NHSN.

AICE® software products are licensed by more than 1,400 healthcare facilities worldwide, providing Infection Control Professionals with easy yet powerful epidemiologic tools.
