Abstract : We consider an impulsive-differential-equation system, based on SIS model, to describe the spread of pathogens in healthcare systems accounting for patient mobility. We propose sufficient conditions guaranteeing network suppression of infection and an algorithm to indicate hospitals prone to high bacteria prevalence and ultimately to ensure the stability of a disease-free state. As an illustration, we present a model of hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant bacteria transmission based on hospital admission records provided by a German insurance company.
