  3. What we are going to measure • Rates* over time of: • new UTI cases • laboratory orders for urine culture • healthcare acquired C. difficile (HA-CDI) • Percent of treated UTIs that meet the ABCs criteria * All rates calculated per 10,000 resident days

  4. Overview of Measures • 2 types of measures: • Summary statistics to track rates • Chart review for evaluating whether UTI Protocol criteria (ABCs) are met

  5. Selecting Residents for Data Collection • Include residents 70 years of age or older • A UTI case is any new, not recurrent, diagnosis and treatment. • Include patients that are treated, not just those that meet the ABCs • For Cdifficile cases, include patients with symptoms beginning on the fourth day after admission to your facility or later

  6. Chart review data collection form

  7. Chart review spreadsheet

  8. Summary data spreadsheet

  9. Calculating Resident-days • What are Resident-days? • The denominator used to calculate infection rates • Calculate resident days by adding up the daily census for an entire month • Day 1 census + Day 2 census + ……..… + Day 31 census • If a facility has 100 beds and 90 were in use every day in October the resident days for October would be 2,790 (90*31) • Include only residents aged 70+ in this calculated
