Infection Control with Moni
Monitoring of Healthcare-Associated Infections
Moni is a Comprehensive Surveillance Tool for Identification, Monitoring, and Reporting of Healthcare-Associated Infections
Intensive Care Units
Be aware of every healthcare-associated infection early on. Observe HAI severity and trends for every patient in the Moni surveillance cockpit at your desk or bedside.
Benchmarking
Get a clear picture on your hospital’s healthcare-associated infection occurrence. Use Moni to create HAI reports for all the different networks and agencies.
Hospital Hygiene
Have a complete overview of all ICUs. Monitor trends and developments. Create reports based on your selected criteria.
Research
Moni is a great resource for clinical HAI studies. Use it to compare historical infection rates and criteria to today’s best practice.
Quality Management
Identify, document, and count every healthcare-associated infection that occurrs in your ICUs with minimal personnel expenditure.
Patient Safety
By using Moni for HAI detection and for inter-hospital comparison of HAI rates and countermeasures, important steps are taken to prevent these often lethal infections.
How it works
Moni is an intelligent tool for detection and surveillance of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in intensive care medicine. It is linked with the medical documentation systems of a healthcare institution and automatically imports electronic clinical and laboratory raw data to process it into surveillance information.
Moni thereby allows to identify and monitor healthcare-associated infections without the need for extra data entry by medical or surveillance staff. Due to the integration of fuzzy concepts, Moni also captures those incipient or boderline cases that are normally at a risk of not being recognized.

Get daily infection updates with Moni Surveillance
Spot HAIs at a glance
Moni Surveillance
The Moni Surveillance Cockpit shows a comprehensive patient and department list, patients with HAIs are color-coded according to infection severity. Daily updates on each patient’s laboratory results, clinical symptoms, interventions, medication, and more can be found.
For every piece of information, a detailed explanation can be accessed by clicking on the item. In several layers, every calculated and/or displayed parameter can be traced back and understood, the bottom layer often being laboratory test results or monitored vital signs. This reasoning system provides full transparency about the indicated HAIs.
The graphical overview for each ward includes all patients for the selected time period, linking to the patient/department lists with one click.
Moni Reporting
The reports generated in Moni provide statistics on HAI occurrence for your chosen time period and units. Admission and hospital stay information as well as statistics on device use are also included. The DoC setting is adjustable. Choose between PDF or CSV (for further data processing) format.
Use these HAI Reports to facilitate the exchange of benchmarking data or to generate mandatory HAI reports. Moni’s Reporting feature can also be used for internal hospital quality measures, scientific studies, and more.
Details
Early-Stage and Borderline Cases
HAI occurrence is color-labeled prominently and includes the degree of compatibility (as percentage) with the underlying HAI definition. This integration of fuzzy concepts allows for inclusion of early-stage and/or borderline cases, enabling clinical staff to act promptly.
Knowledge Base
The Moni knowledge bases were carefully built by infection control and clinical experts. They are written in Arden Syntax, an established medical knowledge representation and processing language that is an up-to-date HL7 International industry standard and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Ontologies
The system can work with pathogen ontologies provided by the microbiology department or supports mapping services for building new ones.
Availability
Moni`s user interface can be accessed via any browser or integrated in the intensive care information system. Moni is available in English and German, but can be offered in other languages upon request.
