Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to helping all Americans receive the best and safest care. Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a top priority for CDC and its partners in public health and healthcare. The following 2015 National and State Healthcare-Associated Infections Data Report (2015 HAI Data Report) uses the updated national baseline to provide a summary of select HAIs across four healthcare settings; acute care hospitals (ACHs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs),long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) and critical access hospitals (CAHs). IRFs include hospitals, or part of a hospital, that provide intensive rehabilitation services using an interdisciplinary team approach. LTACHs provide treatment for patients who are generally very sick and stay, on average, more than 25 days The designation of CAH is assigned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to hospitals, which have 25 or fewer acute care inpatient beds and that maintain an annual average length of stay of 96 hours or less for acute care patients.
The data included in this report were submitted to CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), the nation's most widely used HAI tracking system, More than 23,000 hospitals and other healthcare facilities provide data to NHSN. This vital information is then used for reporting, including for this HAI Report, and for care improvement by facilities, states, regions, quality groups, and national public health agencies including CDC.
This report, along with the detailed technical tables, provide national and state-level data about HAI incidence during 2015. For detailed methods, references, and definitions please refer to the Technical Appendix and Glossary.
To help improve healthcare quality and safeguard against adverse healthcare events, CDC tracks infections, responds to outbreaks, provides infection prevention expertise and guidelines, spearheads prevention research, and serves as the nation's gold-standard microbiology laboratory for the pathogens most often implicated in HAIs. NHSN is critical in this work.
The 2015 HAI Data Report includes data on central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), ventilator-associated events (VAEs), surgical site infections (SSIs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections, and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile ) events.
In addition to the SIRs, the 2015 HAI Data Report introduces the standardized utilization ratios (SURs), also using the 2015 baseline and risk adjustment calculations. The SUR is a risk-adjusted summary measure that is used to describe device use by comparing the number of observed device days to the number of predicted device days.
This dataset focuses on Acute Care Hospitals.
