Figure 4. Screenshot of the transfer statistics tab of the web-based interactive tool to identify facilities at risk of receiving patients with multidrug-resistant organisms. This function displays facility characteristics and downstream facilities that are most likely to receive transfers from the ego facility. The second tab of the application’s user interface includes 2 tables. The top table displays detailed social network and facility characteristics for the ego facility. The bottom table displays the facilities at highest risk to receive patients from the ego facility, which are downstream facilities. The table defaults to sort the number of patient transfers in descending order. Users can interactively choose a column to sort and filter this table, which can be used to identify facilities at risk during outbreaks or regional detection of a novel organism. Hospital names have been de-identified for privacy.
