Abstract
Clinicians and hygienists need to identify outbreaks and transmission patterns of pathogen infections among hospital patients. Such analysis requires the combination of the microbiological laboratory results with the location and contacts among patients. Currently, this is a cumbersome manual and time-consuming task that includes reading multiple textual reports. We present a visual-interactive interface that offers a set of linked visualizations for the identification of outbreaks and patient contacts. The evaluation of our interface with clinicians and hygienists has shown a high applicability for the task and ease of use.
