May 21, 2018

Turns Real-Time Public Health Department Data into Actionable Insights

ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ecolab Inc. has launched an innovative new Health Department
Intelligence (HDI) platform that helps foodservice operators better
understand their health inspection results, improve health inspection
performance, and better manage food safety risks across multiple sites.

ÔÇ£Our new HDI technology revolutionizes how foodservice operators can use
their public health department inspection information to their
advantage,ÔÇØ said Bob Sherwood, executive vice president and general
manager, Institutional North America. ÔÇ£WeÔÇÖre capturing real-time
information and turning that data into insights that enable our
customers to more effectively and efficiently address food safety risks.
ItÔÇÖs an important milestone for food safety and an exclusive technology
available from Ecolab.ÔÇØ

HereÔÇÖs how this dynamic and intuitive platform works: Ecolab HDI
automatically collects local health department inspections for
foodservice operators, each of which can vary significantly in form and
content from other public health departments. Using an advanced
algorithm, the platform analyzes millions of inspection records to
provide users with conformed and consistent information, thereby
providing powerful insights to help customers identify, predict and
prevent food safety risks across multiple sites.

With Ecolab HDI, operators can access real-time industry benchmarking
data, view trends and analytics on top risks and opportunities, review
performance based on locations and jurisdictions, and proactively
identify where potential health department violations can be avoided.

ÔÇ£Our goal is to help customers establish standards, ensure compliance
and drive progress at each foodservice unit, so they can run a safe and
successful business,ÔÇØ said Mike Goede, vice president and general
manager, EcoSure. ÔÇ£The new HDI system is another Ecolab digital
innovation that advances food safety and public health.ÔÇØ
