ActiveView HDISM provides chain
operators insight into health inspection reports for each and every
unit, enabling corrective action and brand protection
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) has received a Kitchen Innovations™ 2012 Award
from the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show,
for its ActiveView HDI (Health Department Intelligence) service.
Introduced last fall, ActiveView HDI helps chain restaurant operators
safeguard their customers' health — and protect their own reputations
from potentially harmful food safety and sanitation issues.
Geared to the needs of multi-unit operators in the United States,
Ecolab's ActiveView HDI service provides a clear line of sight into
health department inspections at the unit level, regardless of location,
and across an operator's entire restaurant chain.
"A negative health department rating, or worse, an outbreak of
food-borne illness, at one unit can have a negative effect on the
reputation of an entire chain," said Ruth Petran, Ph.D., corporate
scientist for food safety at Ecolab. "Operators can help protect the
health — and maintain the confidence -- of their customers by tracking
health department inspections — and taking immediate action to correct
any problems. Using Active HDI, they can, for the first time, monitor
the health department inspections for all of their units nationwide and
act quickly to avoid potential problems."
ActiveView HDI also makes it easy for chain operators to track and
decipher local health department inspections by assigning a
standardized, numerical rating system to the many diverse sanitation
rating systems used by states and localities. It also provides trend
analysis and reporting to help operators determine units that may be in
need of special attention.
The service includes access to a Web portal through which customers can
access health inspection data for their chain anytime or anywhere they
have an Internet connection.

at the Kitchen Innovations Pavilion or the Ecolab booth (#4000) at the
NRA Show, May 5-8, in Chicago.
