Healthcare Associated Infections

**Overview**
This data package includes the hospital, national and state-level data for the Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) measures which provide information on infections that occur while the patient is in the hospital. It also contains data regarding certain infections like Surgical Site, Clostridium difficile, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia as well as the standardized infection ratios for all the above-mentioned infections.

**Description**
This data package contains the Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) occurs when germs enter the urinary tract through the urinary catheter and cause infection. CAUTIs have been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs, and length of stay. A Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) is a serious infection that occurs when germs enter the bloodstream through the central line. Healthcare providers must follow a strict protocol when inserting the line to make sure the line remains sterile and a CLABSI does not occur. Patients who get a CLABSI have a fever, and might also have red skin and soreness around the central line. Catheter-Associated bloodstream infection is serious, but often can be successfully treated with antibiotics. The catheter might need to be removed if you develop an infection. A surgical site infection is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. Surgical site infections can sometimes be superficial infections involving the skin only.

Other surgical site infections are more serious and can involve tissues under the skin, organs, or implanted material. The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is a statistic used to track healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) over time, at a national, state, or facility level. The SIR compares the actual number of HAIs at each hospital, to the predicted number of infections. The healthcare-associated infection (HAI) measures show how often patients in a particular hospital contract certain infections during the course of their medical treatment, when compared to like hospitals. These infections can often be prevented when healthcare facilities follow guidelines for safe care. MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. In a healthcare setting, such as a hospital or nursing home, MRSA can cause severe problems such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a common and sometimes fatal health-care-associated infection; the incidence, deaths, and excess health-care costs resulting from CDIs in hospitalized patients are all at historic highs.

**Benefits**
- Useful for medical care providers, patients, consumers and hospitals. healthcare associated infections database is available on cdc.gov and centers for medicare & medicaid services, hospital compare data website in raw form, whereas a john snow labs (jsl) customer gets it in clean and normalized form ready to use in one place and create his own custom reports. easy to comprehend for the customers who are unfamiliar with the medical terminologies as all abbreviated terms are replaced with full form, unlike healthcare associated infections original datasets which are full of abbreviations.

**Included Datasets**
- [Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/catheter-associated-urinary-tract-infections)
- This dataset discusses cases of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in hospitals and is reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Among UTIs acquired in the hospital, approximately 75% are associated with a urinary catheter, which is a tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. Between 15-25% of hospitalized patients receive urinary catheters during their hospital stay.
- [Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/central-line-associated-bloodstream-infections)
- This dataset shows the Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) result in thousands of deaths each year and billions of dollars in the United States from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that helps the healthcare community to end CLABSIs. The annual Health Associated Infections (HAI) Progress Reports serves as a reference for national and state prevention progress updates, and for calculating SIRs for each reporting state and facility.
- [Changes in State Specific SIRs for CAUTI All Locations 2012-2013](https://www.johnsnowlabs.com/marketplace/changes-in-state-specific-sirs-for-cauti-all-locations-2012-2013)
