The Web-based Quality Compass technology platform (sponsored by The Advisory Board) facilitates the development of a customized management tool using real-time pharmacy and lab data specific to positive cultures, antibiotic-organism mismatches and customized reporting. Personalized training for infection preventionists as well as pharmacy and lab personnel and ongoing support provided by a Dedicated Advisor are additional benefits of collaboration with The Advisory Board. This training focuses on system navigation and report development and analysis as well as the latest best practices related to infection prevention and control.
