Computer informatics is integral to infection control, a role that will grow as surveillance and reporting become increasingly automated. Surveillance applications include automated infection monitoring, device utilization calculations, and outbreak detection. Prevention uses include identifying multidrug-resistant organism carriers at admission, flagging high-risk patients, reducing unnecessary device use, and supporting antimicrobial stewardship. Public health integration enhances electronic reporting, regional communication. and outbreak response. This article reviews current and emerging applications of informatics in infection prevention and control, including generative artificial intelligence and methods for public health clinical data transmission.
