Abstract
Current case finding Methods for identifying colon SSI involve Infection Preventionists (IP) assessing candidate infections flagged by an electronic algorithm without a systematic process to identify all procedures that are not primarily closed. In 2013, NHSN broadened the primarily closed definition and updated the principal operative procedure (POP) Table. The objectives of this study are to assess the effect of these definition changes on colon SSI rates and validate the use of electronic algorithms.
