The Tennessee Department of Health has released its semi-annual report on healthcare-associated infections, which showed surgical site and bloodstream infection rates at Tennessee hospitals are below the national baseline.
The Tennessee Report on Healthcare-Associated Infections is the fifth review published by the department since 2010. It presents standardized infection ratios for central line-associated bloodstream infections in intensive care units, long-term acute-care hospitals and specialty care areas, and for surgical site infections following coronary artery bypass graft and hip prosthesis procedures.
Data are collected using the CDC's National Healthcare Surveillance Network case definitions. To view the full report, click here.
