Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infection Surveillance: National Healthcare Safety Network’s Laboratory-Identified Event Reporting versus Traditional Laboratory-Confirmed Bloodstream Infection Surveillance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2016
Abstract
Hospitals must report cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (BSI) using a new laboratory-identified (LabID) event reporting module. BSI rates obtained using LabID differ from rates of BSI obtained from traditional surveillance (concordance of healthcare facility–onset cases, 61%–76%) because definitions used to report LabID events are inconsistent with traditional BSI definitions
