New Wisconsin Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) report: Improvements In 2012
The Wisconsin Division of Public Health’s annual Healthcare-Associated Infections Prevention Program report shows more health facilities in the state met or exceeded (better than) the national standard for many infection rates in 2012. CLABSI SIR among reporting facilities was 0.44, indicating an occurrence which was 56% lower than the national level and a 21% reduction compared to 2011. CLABSI SIR among reporting NICUs was 0.64, indicating an occurrence which was 36% lower than the national level and a 10% reduction compared to 2011. CAUTI SIR among reporting facilities was 0.87, indicating an occurrence which was 13% lower than the national level and a 17% reduction compared to 2011. SSI SIR for colon procedures was 0.92, indicating an occurrence which was 8% lower than the national level. Additionally, MRSA prevalence among reporting facilities decreased significantly from 0.82% during 2011 to 0.69% during 2012. C. difficile prevalence among reporting hospitals increased significantly from 0.46% during 2011 to 0.65% during 2012 and may partially be explained by an increase in the number of reporting hospitals.
