A positive culture isn't an infection. The definition decides.
NHSN surveillance chart review services take a triggering culture and locate every element the applicable surveillance definition turns on — device days, symptoms, timing, and secondary attribution — each page-cited. Your infection preventionist applies the definition and makes the call; the reading is already done.
The surveillance definitions are published. So is the validation audit.
We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In NHSN surveillance, both are already published.
3 steps between the culture and the determination.
Send the triggered chart
The chart behind the positive culture — microbiology, device documentation, vital signs, nursing notes, imaging — in any format.
We return the review, page-cited
Every element the applicable definition names, located and cited, with device days and timing computed from documented dates, and unsettled elements flagged.
Your preventionist determines
Applying the surveillance definition and deciding whether an event is reportable is the infection preventionist's judgment, and the submission is yours.
Evidence for the preventionist, not an event determination.
We locate and cite the elements the surveillance definition turns on, and compute device days and timing from documented dates. We do not determine whether an event meets the definition, classify an infection, or submit to NHSN. Applying the definition is the infection preventionist's judgment.
Elements the chart doesn't settle are flagged rather than assumed. A surveillance determination built on an assumed device day is one that reverses at the state validation audit, and the agreement score is what gets published.
The rules the platform never breaks.
EVERY LINE CITED
HIPAA, under a signed BAA
Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement, from the first byte.
Never trains a model
Your records are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.
Every line cited
If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every sentence links to its source page.
Deleted after delivery
Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, with a full audit log of every access.
4 capabilities behind every surveillance review.
The surveillance review is 1 deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.
Medical Records OCR
Every page read in full — microbiology reports, device documentation, vital sign flowsheets, handwritten nursing notes — nothing skipped, nothing guessed.
Medical Chronology
The admission builds itself into a timeline, so the infection window period and device days come from the record rather than a spreadsheet.
Verifiable AI Citations
If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every definition element links to the page that documents it.
Medical Summary Reports
The review formats straight into your surveillance workflow — your template, your letterhead.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
