Abstract
In 2014, the CDPH HAI Program conducted onsite visits at larger volume hospitals to validate reporting of colon surgical site infections (SSI), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), C. difficile infections (CDI), and bloodstream infections due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA BSI) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE BSI). Validators reviewed up to 20 randomly selected infections or procedures of each type using a chart abstraction tool and identified whether HAIs had been reported by the hospital to NHSN. Sensitivity calculations and significance tests were conducted, and adjusted rate ratios were calculated using negative binomial regression models. Participation
