ILÚM Acumen app for iPhone and iPad

ILÚM Health Solutions is a specialized service focused on the unique challenges of infectious disease with the goal of supporting improved patient health and outcomes. ILÚM INSIGHT is a health information solution designed to support clinicians as they work to identify and manage infectious disease patients in the hospital setting and manage quality programs such as those for antimicrobial stewardship.

Acumen helps clinicians stay connected and interact with the latest institution-specific clinical guidelines while also accounting for relevant patient-specific risk factors that impact treatment decisions. For infection control and prevention, Acumen provides users with secure access to electronic tools such as those for isolation precaution and hand hygiene compliance. Users can stay connected to the latest trends in local epidemiology through the antibiograms populated via integration with WHONET and available in Acumen.

The tools within Acumen can be populated automatically, via integration with existing data sources such as the electronic health record and laboratory information systems, or by manual data entry from clinicians and staff.

ILÚM Health Solutions is part of Healthcare Services & Solutions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada), an independent business unit focused on improving the value of care delivered to patients through evidence-based services and solutions. ILÚM is organized and managed independently from MSD’s pharmaceutical products business.
