Beyond the abacus: Leveraging the electronic medical record for central line day surveillance.

Abstract：

:Manual counting is considered the gold standard for device day recording by the National Health Safety Network. We describe the development of a process for an electronic count of central line days across our ten-hospital health care system. Our validation process identified discordance between the electronic count and the manual count for 71% of patient care units. Adjudication of the count differences by chart review identified the electronic count to be correct 97% of the time.

  • Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases: a challenge for clinical microbiologists and infection control specialists.

    abstract：:Since first reported in Europe in the early 1980s, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have spread worldwide. When producing these broad-spectrum plasmid-encoded enzymes, organisms become highly effective at inactivating penicillins, most cephalosporins, and aztreonam. Mainly produced by Klebsiella spp, ESBLs ha...
