Data for June

Unit / UTI / CAUTI / BSI / CLABSI / PNU / VAC / IVAC / Poss VAP / Prob VAP / Patient Days
(Resident Days for LTC) / Foley Catheter Days / Central Line Days / Ventilator Days
2 West / 4 / 4 / 1 / 0 / N/A / 625 / 250
3 East / 4 / 1 / 2 / 1 / N/A / 536 / 120 / 40
MICU / 2 / 2 / 3 / 2 / N/A / 3 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 300 / 200 / 175 / 125
LTC / 3 / 1 / 0 / 0 / 2 / 0 / 3750 / 750 / 0 / 0

How do you calculate?

  1. The UTI rate for 2 West, 3 East, and MICU (3 rates)
  1. The CAUTI rates for these same unitsThe Catheter DUR for each unit
  1. The BSI rates for each of the three acute care units

How do you calculate?

  1. The CLABSI rates for 3 East and MICU (2 rates)The central line DUR for each unit
  1. The pneumonia rates for the LTC unit.
  1. The 4 VAE rates for MICU:The ventilator DUR for MICU
  1. The infection rate for the LTC facility, using resident days

Surgical Site Infection Rate Calculations

Dr. Smith / Dr. Jones / Dr. Adams
Number of colon surgeries performed / 66 / 65 / 82
Number of superficial incisional SSIs / 2 / 1 / 1
Number of deep incisional SSIs / 1 / 2 / 1
Number of organ/space SSIs / 0 / 0 / 1

Calculate the colon SSI rate for each surgeon.

If these are the only general surgeons for a facility, calculate the colon SSI rate for the facility

What are the limitations of these SSI rates?
