Vecna's 100% integration success rate means you'll see up-to-the-minute reports on all your critical data. PathFinder's clinically validated algorithms and constant incorporation of best practice means you can be confident in your results.
Four Steps to Improve Infection Control
QC PathFinder's unique technology prevents outbreaks from becoming problems for your health care institution in four steps.
- Monitor: QC PathFinder monitors live microbiology lab, pharmacy, surgical, radiology, critical care and other data feeds, which allows it to detect potential outbreaks based on an Infection Control Plan. Team members are automatically notified when an alert has been triggered.
- Analyze: Select the important parameters and QC Pathfinder automatically generates detailed reports, with drill-down capabilities and antibiograms. These reports drive analysis of microbiology and other data.
- Detect: QC PathFinder can create seven different types of control charts, which can be used to detect critical trends occurring right now at your facility.
- Act: QC PathFinder significantly reduces time spent manually reviewing data and compiling reports, allowing more time to act on prevention and intervention strategies. QC PathFinder provides tools to support JCAHO National Patient Safety Goals and Infection Control Standards.
Save Time
"Our epidemiologist frequently asks for reports that used to take hours or even days to compile manually. With QC PathFinder, I can generate these reports in seconds: Confirmed HAI — MRSA infections, C–diff infections, Candida… I can display the reports with patient's identifiers or de–identified, with the location, admission date and even color–coded individual antibiogram associated with each isolate."

- 30% savings in ICP time that is now redirected toward executing your infection control plan
- 50% faster deployment than our competitors with 100% integration success
- Real time microbiology lab, pharmacy, surgical, radiology, critical care, and other data feed
up–to–date statistical process control charts, line listings, and anti biograms anytime, anywhere. - 24/7 Alerts for detection of unusual patterns and surveillance triggers from anywhere in the world.
Save Money
HAIs impact everyone. HAI's can double the length of stay, double morbidity, and triple the cost of care. Today, Medicare and most insurers do not pay for care resulting from HAI's — hospitals do.
- Avoid 2 BSI's using PathFinder's validated algorithms and the tool has paid for itself.
- Reduce costly drug/bug mismatches and enforce antimicrobial stewardship.
Save Lives
"I was suspicious that I was seeing more cases of Acinetobacter than usual in our ICUs. I generated a C–chart in QC PathFinder in seconds, and it not only confirmed my suspicions, but showed me exactly when the trend had begun, and which units had clusters of Acinetobacter isolates during that timeframe!"

QC Pathfinder's unique technology reduces and controls the risk of infection outbreaks.
Based on research by scientists, engineers, and clinics from leading institutions, and funded by NIH/NIAID, QC Pathfinder enables users to detect and track patterns that suggest an outbreak or unusual occurrence of a particular organism before an outbreak occurs.
QC PathFinder's intelligent, automated Infection Control surveillance tools are designed to improve patient outcomes, lower health care costs and track compliance with JCAHO National Patient Safety Goals.
