Increasing the Reliability of Fully Automated Surveillance for Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections.
OBJECTIVE To increase reliability of the algorithm used in our fully automated electronic surveillance system by adding rules to better identify bloodstream infections secondary to other hospital-acquired infections. METHODS Intensive care unit (ICU) patients with positive blood cultures were reviewed. Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) determinations were based on 2 sourc...

Objective: Expert surveillance of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is a key parameter for good clinical practice, especially in intensive care medicine. Assessment of clinical entities such as HCAIs is a time-consuming task for highly trained experts. Such are neither available nor affordable in sufficient numbers for continuous surveillance services. Intelligent information technology ...
متن کاملElectronic surveillance for healthcare-associated central line-associated bloodstream infections outside the intensive care unit.
BACKGROUND Manual surveillance for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by infection prevention practitioners is time-consuming and often limited to intensive care units (ICUs). An automated surveillance system using existing databases with patient-level variables and microbiology data was investigated. METHODS Patients with a positive blood culture in 4 non-ICU wards at B...

متن کاملMulticenter evaluation of computer automated versus traditional surveillance of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections.
OBJECTIVE Central line-associated bloodstream infection (BSI) rates are a key quality metric for comparing hospital quality and safety. Traditional BSI surveillance may be limited by interrater variability. We assessed whether a computer-automated method of central line-associated BSI detection can improve the validity of surveillance. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Eight medica...
