TECHNICAL NOTES: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci Bloodstream Infections
ثبت نشده
چکیده
California Health and Safety Code section 1288.55(a)(1) requires general acute care hospitals to report to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) all cases of MRSA or VRE bloodstream infections (BSI) identified in their facilities. CDPH produced these Technical Notes to describe the definitions, methods, and limitations associated with MRSA/VRE BSI data analyses for the reporting period, January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015. California hospitals submitted MRSA/VRE BSI data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). CDPH accessed the NHSN data to produce this report.
