Development of Automated Algorithms to Reduce the Surveillance Requirements for NHSN Reporting APIC Presentation: July 2013
Agenda Introduction Creating a CLABSI Surveillance Algorithm & Algorithm Results Creating a CAUTI Surveillance Algorithm & Algorithm Results Conclusion
The focus of this project was to develop an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) with the goal of creating an internally developed intervention database, surveillance screening tool, and reporting tool.
Creating a Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) Algorithm & Algorithm Results
Data Needs for CLABSI Algorithm • Need to Identify Following Data: • Hospital Admission and Discharge Date • Unit level admit and discharge preferred but not required • Blood Culture collection data • Blood Culture organism name • Central Line Insertion and Removal Date • Fever, chills, and hypotension • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient • GI GVHD, Diarrhea, and WBC Count
Creating a Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) Algorithm & Algorithm Results
Data Needs for CAUTI Algorithm • Need to Identify Following Data: • Hospital Admission and Discharge Date • Unit level admit and discharge preferred but not required • Urine Culture collection data • Urine Culture organism name and CFU/ml • Indwelling urinary catheter insertion & removal date • Fever (>38°C), urgency*, frequency*; dysuria*; suprapubic tenderness*; costovertebral angle pain or tenderness* • *No other recognized cause of symptom
Conclusion • Value added by creating an electronic algorithm • Algorithm can be tailored to any institution with an electronic health record • Higher abundance of “workable” data allows for greater efficiency in surveillance
