Post-Discharge Surgical Site Infection (SSI)
Surveillance That Follows Your Patients Home
Cemplicity extends SSI monitoring beyond discharge, giving you complete visibility into recovery, earlier detection of risk, and the ability to act before complications escalate.
Every patient. Every procedure. Complete visibility.

The Blind Spot Is After Discharge
Surgical site infections are among the most common and preventable complications, yet most emerge after discharge. Patients leave before wounds have fully healed, meaning the highest-risk period happens outside your direct care.
When surveillance relies on readmissions and follow-ups, only what returns is counted. The rest remains invisible.
The result is undercounted infections and missed opportunities for improvement.
Closing the Blind Spot
Cemplicity contacts every patient after discharge at the right clinical moment via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, capturing real-time feedback from home through validated tools, including the UKHSA Wound Healing Questionnaire.
Responses are automatically assessed against recognised SSI criteria, triggering immediate alerts when risk is identified.
For the first time, you see the full picture, not just what returns, but every post-discharge complication.
This is true SSI surveillance. Every patient, every procedure, continuously.
From Surveillance to Prevention
Detecting infections more completely is the foundation. The real value is what it enables: understanding which care bundles work, which risk groups need targeted intervention, and where variation in practice is driving outcomes.
By connecting surveillance data with clinical and pathway information, teams can introduce evidence-based interventions and measure their impact in real time. SSI rates can fall significantly, with each infection prevented representing faster recovery, fewer complications, and reduced reliance on antibiotics.
Complete visibility comes first. Earlier intervention follows.
What Cemplicity Delivers for SSI Programmes
Cemplicity provides the tools and visibility needed to run effective, end-to-end SSI surveillance and improvement programmes.
Complete post-discharge surveillance
Every patient contacted, every response captured, no gap between discharge and detection.
Automated patient follow-up
No manual calls, no paper, no chasing. Fully integrated with your patient systems.
Real-time alerting
IPC teams notified immediately when infection criteria are met, enabling faster clinical response.
Drill-down reporting
Understand performance by procedure, surgeon, care bundle, BMI grouping, and site. Know where to act and what’s working.
Benchmarking
Identify variation, surface best practice, and build the evidence base for continuous improvement.
Connected Across Care
SSI surveillance is most powerful when connected with the wider patient picture. Cemplicity links post-discharge infection data with patient experience and outcomes, giving organisations a complete view of recovery, risk, and care quality across every pathway.
