Description:Updated April 2022.
The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is the primary summary measure used by the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) to track healthcareassociated infections (HAIs). As NHSN grows, both in its user-base and
surveillance capability, the SIR continues to evolve. Highlighting the SIR and changes resulting from an updated baseline, this document is intended to serve both as guidance for those who are new to this metric as well as a useful reference for more experienced infection prevention professionals.
