HIDA � Hospital Infections Disclosure Act � Passed in May 2006, requiring inpatient acute care hospitals to report to the SC DHEC selected hospital acquired infections and selected infection prevention processes

HIDA (cont) � Since 2007, inpatient rehabilitation and long ‐ term acute care (LTAC) facilities have been added. � Currently, 79 facilities report on central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and certain surgical site infections (SSIs)

National Healthcare Safety Network � A secure, internet based surveillance system through which facilities can report their data on hospital associated infections

What is a Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR)? � The SIR is a summary measure used to track HAIs at a national, state, and local level over time. � Method of calculating is similar to the Standardized Mortality Ratio � The SIR compares the actual number of HAIs reported to the baseline experience � Adjusted for several risk factors that have been found to be significantly associated with differences in infection incidence. � An SIR greater than 1.0 indicates that more HAIs were observed than predicted; an SIR less than 1.0 means fewer HAIs were observed than predicted

Mandatory Reporting of Healthcare ‐ associated Infection Rates ‐ 2009 * www.APIC.org

Central lines access large veins, catheter tip is near heart, may remain in place for weeks or months Central line ‐ associated bloodstream infection = CLABSI

CLABSI � Crude mortality 10 ‐ 40% � Attributable mortality 2 ‐ 15% � Prolongation of hospitalization 5 ‐ 20 days � Attributable cost $34,000 ‐ $56,000

SC CLABSI DATA � **Although not from 2010 data, it should be noted that in March 2011, the CDC released data showing that, of 17 states with a mandate for reporting CLABSIs to NHSN, South Carolina was the only state to demonstrate a significant decrease in CLABSI SIRs. South Carolina’s CLABSI rate dropped 30% July to December 2009 when compared to January to June 2009, in continuously reporting facilities. (www.cdc.gov/vital signs)

Continuation of Hospital Report

Surgical Site Infections � In SC, we monitor SSIs from: � Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) � Hip Replacements � Knee Replacements � Abdominal Hysterectomies � Colectomies (in facilities with <200 beds) � Previously collected cholecystectomies, but site dropped because very low infection rates

SIR � SIR= observed expected � For SSIs, calculated using logistical regression model � Risk factors vary by procedure, but include patient age, ASA score, surgery duration, medical school affiliation, gender, type of anesthesia used, hospital bed size, wound class, trauma and others

Example of an Individual Hospital Report SC was one of only 5 states that validated all Reports. Rates were significantly higher in those states, due to better reporting.

Microorganisms Number Percent Isolates Candida species and other yeasts 147 17.8 Enterococcus species (includes VRE) 143 17.3 Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE only - % of total isolates) 41 (5.0) Coagulase negative Staphylococcus species 140 16.9 Staphylococcus aureus (includes MRSA) 104 12.6 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) only - % of total positive 66 (8.0) isolates) Klebsiella species 77 9.3 Enterobacter species 39 4.7 Escherichia coli 33 4.0 Pseudomonas species 25 3.0 Serratia species 22 2.7 Streptococcus species 18 2.2 Acinetobacter species 15 1.8 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 7 0.8 Citrobacter species 7 0.8 Proteus species 6 0.7 Bacteroides species 5 0.6 Other anaerobes 5 0.6 Providencia species 4 0.5 Morganella species 4 0.5 Burkholderia species 3 0.4 Clostridium species 3 0.4

Validation � SC is one of few states that validates data entered into NHSN by facilities � One of only five states that perform actual chart reviews � Especially important to identify “system” errors � Also helps DHEC to establish and maintain good relationships with IPs � In 2009 CDC report on infection rates from 10 states with “mature” reporting, CDC concluded that the states doing validation had significantly better reporting completeness(including SC and NY).

� Provides framework to ensure progress towards five ‐ year national prevention targets as described in the HHS Action Plan in the following areas: � Develop or Enhance Public Health HAI Program Infrastructure � Surveillance, Detection, Reporting, and Response � Prevention � Evaluation, Oversight, and Communication
