How I work.

Surveillance done well is data infrastructure work. The Foundation engagement builds the system; Managed Surveillance keeps it tuned. Both are scoped specifically enough to be delivered consistently — which is what makes the resulting data defensible.

The monthly cycle

One cadence, sustained.

Each month follows the same cadence: EHR exports flow through validated cleaning recipes into your dashboard. NHSN submissions follow a documented runbook. A 15–30 minute review with your DON or IP delegate closes the loop. The action log carries forward into the next cycle. Nothing about this is heroic — that's the point.

  1. Data pull

    EHR exports pulled on a scheduled cadence.

  2. Validation & cleaning

    Recipes flag gaps, outliers, and inconsistencies.

  3. Dashboard refresh

    Validated data updates the dashboard.

  4. NHSN reporting check

    Submission follows the documented runbook.

  5. DON / IP review

    A short review closes the loop.

  6. Action log follow-up

    Items carry forward to the next cycle.

Illustrative monthly cycle. Every step is reviewable — nothing is a black box.
Tooling

Reviewable by design.

CSV and XLS extracts from PointClickCare, MatrixCare, or your EHR of choice flow through Python-based cleaning recipes into Looker Studio or Metabase. NHSN submissions follow a documented runbook. Reports go to Google Workspace or your preferred system. Everything is reviewable. Nothing is a black box.

Pathway

Foundation, then Managed — or Foundation alone.

Most engagements start with Foundation, then transition to Managed Surveillance for facilities that want continuing support. Some facilities run Foundation and stop there — and that's a legitimate ending. Add-Ons attach to either Foundation or Managed when a specific need shows up.
