METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING INFECTION HOTSPOTS IN HOSPITALS

A method for processing medical information includes identifying a first patient in a first state, identifying a second patient in a second state, calculating a first risk score for the first patient, calculating a first risk score for the second patient, and determining a risk prone area in a medical facility based on the first risk score for the first patient and the first risk score for the second patient. The first state is an infected state and the second state is different from the first state. The first risk score of the first patient provides an indication of a severity of the infected state of the first patient, and the first risk score of the second patient provides an indication of the second patient being infected by the first patient.
