{BURLINGTON, MA} June 28, 2021. Vecna Technologies, a leading provider of healthcare information technologies focused on clinical surveillance, patient intake and telepresence robotics, announced today the launch of the Vecna Hand Hygiene Observation and Audit Tool (OAT) and updated release of the Vecna Clinical Surveillance Platform.

Vecna Technologies CEO, Deborah Theobald, commented, “Vecna’s new product enhancements were designed based on the feedback of infection preventionists and with the goal of helping infection professionals increase patient and staff safety, streamline compliance related reporting activities and most importantly reduce HAIs through actionable insights. Our new mobile app empowers users to observe, monitor and share critical data on the go and our Infection Expert on Demand functionality provides live video consultations to help answer critical questions. Vecna is proud to deliver continued innovation in supporting health systems in their fight against infection.”

Vecna’s Clinical Surveillance Platform delivers actionable data and reporting to infection preventionists responsible for identifying and preventing the spread of HAIs and streamlines compliance reporting requirements from the NHSN and CDC.
