Which programming code would you use to design a program to actively search for nosocomial infections in a healthcare institution's electronic records system? Do you know of any examples of institutions that already perform this screening?

It cant be easy. As rarely it would be mentioned in a diagnosis section or be part of terms used to describe medical issues of patients. So simple text search will not be helpful.
Maybe the code , filter out the patients based on risk factors such as age, length of hospitalization and then apply second level of filters based on lab findings and/or type of antibiotic given etc...
These are just some of thoughts... I do not know of any such codes/ searches being carried out.
Not an easy task.
