St. Joseph Health System in Orange, Calif., will implement in eight hospitals software to track and prevent hospital-acquired infections and optimize antibiotic use.

Hospitals getting SafetySurveillor are: Petaluma Valley Hospital in Petaluma; Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa; Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna; St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka; Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital; St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton; St. Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley; and St. Joseph Hospital in Orange.
