OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Exploiting electronic health records to improve infection management
Effective surveillance is key to understanding and managing the impact of healthcare associated infections. In England, data is collected locally for specific organisms subject to mandatory surveillance, then submitted to a central database (HCAI-DCS). This takes considerable time from infection prevention and control staff. Whilst huge amounts of routine electronic data is collected on patients locally, automated processes for submitting, linking and using this data for surveillance, and associated epidemiology, are rare. However, implementing central surveillance systems raises several challenges which will be discussed.
