Abstract
A system and method provide for determining and displaying on a user interface a patient's infection risk associated with a specific healthcare provider encounter. Specifically, a patient's infection risk assessment is presented in the form of a graphical representation of a set of infection risk values determined through utilization of a set of benchmark infection risk factors. Each infection risk value is associated with a particular point in time. This provides a visualization of changes in infection risk over time for the patient.
