CMI (Clinically Relevant Microbiology Incidents)

Clinically Relevant Microbiology Incidents (CMI) refer to significant findings from laboratory tests on patient samples that directly impact medical care. These incidents identify the presence of infections or bacteria requiring treatment, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions. CMIs prioritize reports that are critical for patient management, ensuring timely intervention. They filter out routine or less relevant results, focusing on microbiological data that influence diagnosis and therapy. Ultimately, CMIs support effective and targeted treatment, improving patient outcomes by highlighting only the most pertinent microbiology findings.
