VISKIT - Standardization of the Surveillance of Nosocomial Infections in Veterinary Medicine

In veterinary medicine, as in human medicine, infections during a clinical visit are a critical risk factor that must be avoided. While the registration of infectious diseases in human medicine is already highly standardized today, there is still considerable need to catch up in veterinary medicine, especially in the area of hygiene. This paper presents a software system for the standardized registration, surveillance, and evaluation, including cause-of-effect research, of (nosocomial) infections in veterinary medicine, called VISKIT - Veterinary Infection Surveillance Kit.
