THE INFECTION INTELLIGENCE LOOP

Five roles, one loop that never stops moving.

This is the signature of how Ibhar works: not a single tool, but a loop that connects every team with a stake in infection outcomes — closing the distance between what is observed and what is done about it.

01 — IPC teams

Prevention

Daily audits of hand hygiene, bundles, sterilization, environment and post-surgery follow-up.

02 — Rules engine

Detection

Continuous CDC-rule checks on vitals, symptoms and cultures flag suspected HAIs, MDROs and outbreaks.

03 — Microbiology

Investigation

Culture reports with MIC tables and therapeutic index. Alerts reach the duty ICN and treating clinician.

04 — Clinicians & pharmacology

Prescription

Antibiograms guide empirical therapy. Suggested dosing, approvals and pharmacist time-outs keep prescribing governed.

05 — Governance

Cessation

IV-to-oral conversion, stop dates, discharge antibiotics and outcome review, logged for the HICC.

ONE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Three connected capabilities, not three separate products.

Infection prevention, clinical microbiology and antimicrobial stewardship are usually run as separate workstreams. Ibhar treats them as one connected system, with each capability informing the others.

Infection Prevention Intelligence

Observe risk as it emerges

  • Mobile-first HAI & device-associated infection surveillance
  • Hand hygiene compliance and audit workflows
  • Environmental audits, vaccination and needle-stick tracking where implemented
Clinical Microbiology Intelligence

Turn results into understanding

  • Structured culture & antimicrobial susceptibility workflows
  • Hospital-specific antibiograms and MIC guiding tables
  • Laboratory and instrument integration, scoped to each implementation
Antimicrobial Intelligence

Guide stewardship, support clinicians

  • Antibiotic utilisation analysis and DDD/DOT indicators
  • Stewardship review workflows, time-outs and policy tracking
  • Antibiogram-informed guidance to support — not replace — prescriber judgement
THE PROGRAM

Prevention, diagnosis & treatment — connected end to end.

The programme involves every stakeholder — administrators, IPC nurses, microbiologists, pharmacologists and clinicians — on one platform, from prevention to post-treatment.

Prevention & Surveillance

Hand hygiene, environment, bundles, prophylaxis and post-surgery follow-up.

Hand hygieneBundle careEnvironment

Detection & Rules

CDC-rule detection across vitals, symptoms and cultures — MDRO flags and early outbreak signals.

Investigation & Microbiology

MIC tables, therapeutic index and escalation straight to the treating clinician.

Prescription & Stewardship

Antibiograms for empirical therapy, approval workflows and adherence monitoring.

Outcomes & Analytics

HAI rates and compliance trends, antibiotic usage with DDD/DOT, KPIs and escalations.

"Hospitals record infections. Few learn from them."
— The problem Ibhar was built to close
FROM SIGNAL TO ACTION

A single observation, followed through five roles.

An illustrative pathway — the exact steps supported depend on each hospital's configuration and integrations.

01 · IPC NURSE

Logs a surveillance observation

A device-associated infection indicator is recorded during a routine round, mobile-first and in real time.

02 · MICROBIOLOGIST

Links the culture result

Susceptibility data is structured against the hospital's antibiogram, clarifying the organism and resistance pattern.

03 · TREATING CLINICIAN

Sees the result where it matters

The relevant finding becomes visible at the point of a treatment decision, rather than buried in a separate report.

04 · CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGIST

Reviews antimicrobial use

A stewardship time-out checks the regimen against hospital policy and the antibiogram-informed guidance.

05 · GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

Reviews the outcome

The case feeds into institutional learning — informing policy, training and the next surveillance cycle.
