The North Carolina Division of Public Health has published its first public report of statewide healthcare‐associated infections.
The "Healthcare‐Associated Infections Quarterly Report" includes preliminary data on healthcare-associated infections for acute-care hospitals from Jan. 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012. Specifically, the report shows hospital-specific information on central line‐associated bloodstream infections, catheter‐associated urinary tract infections and surgical site infections following abdominal hysterectomies and colon surgeries.
The report was compiled by the North Carolina Healthcare‐Associated Infections Prevention Team in the Communicable Disease Branch of the Epidemiology Section of the North Carolina Division of Public Health.
Future quarterly reports will be released in April, July and October and will include data from other facility types, such as rehabilitation, long-term acute care and state psychiatric facilities.
