Limitations of forehead infrared body temperature detection for fever screening for severe acute respiratory syndrome.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Central line-associated bloodstream infection (BSI) rates are a key quality metric for comparing hospital quality and safety. Traditional BSI surveillance may be limited by interrater variability. We assessed whether a computer-automated method of central line-associated BSI detection can improve the validity...
