In a session at the SHEA Spring 2018 Conference, Dr. Kari Simonsen, MD, division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center advocated for electronic surveillance.
According to Dr. Simonsen, there are newer options available to measure compliance that may be more advantageous than traditional approaches.
