Abstract

Provided is a computer-implemented method of estimating a risk that a medical instrument has been cross-contaminated with a problematic pathogen, comprising: obtaining data identifying a plurality of medical instruments provided in a facility; obtaining data representing use of some or all of the plurality of medical instruments in a plurality of first procedures on a plurality of first patients; storing in a database, for each of the used medical instruments, first data identifying the patient on which the medical instrument has been used; reprocessing the used medical instruments; - storing in the database, for each of the reprocessed medical instruments, second data identifying at least one reprocessing modality; determining, for each of the plurality of first patients, a first indicator representing whether a respective first patient carries a problematic pathogen; defining, for each reprocessing modality, a first cross-contamination probability factor representing the probability that a problematic pathogen is transferred from a first medical instrument carrying a problematic pathogen to a second medical instrument not carrying the problematic pathogen while the first and second medical instruments share the same reprocessing modality; and combining the first indicators, the first data, the second data, and the first cross-contamination probability factors to determine, for each of the reprocessed medical instruments, a contamination probability that the respective medical instrument carries the problematic pathogen. Further provided is a medical instrument provisioning system.
