HAI: Reports and Data | HAI

Data highlights

From national and state healthcare-associated infectious disease progress reports

At the national level, among acute care hospitals, there were significant increases in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (16%), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) (15%), and Clostridium difficile infections (CDI). A decrease was observed (from 2022 to 2023, surgical site infections (SSIs) after abdominal hysterectomy increased by 8%, while colon surgery increased by 2022. In addition, progress has been made in reducing HAIs in other healthcare settings, including hospital-acquired C. difficile infections. Otherwise, the 2023 SIR for CLABSI and hospital-acquired MRSA was 2022. No significant change in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH) in 2023 compared to 2015. Highlights of state performance in 2023 compared to the national baseline SIR 1 for acute care hospitals in 2023: 49 states with at least 3 Four states performed better on at least one infectious disease type; 4 states performed worse on at least two infectious diseases;

From HAI Hospital Prevalence Survey

Every day, approximately 1 in 31 hospitalized patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection. Patients in the 2015 HAI Hospital Prevalence Study were at least 16% less likely to have an HAI than patients in the 2011 study. In a 2015 study, 3% of hospitalized patients had one or more HAIs. There were an estimated 687,000 HAIs in acute care hospitals in the United States in 2015. Approximately 72,000 HAI patients died during hospitalization.

HAI data report

Data sources for HAIs and antimicrobial resistance

About the National Health Safety Network (NHSN)

CDC's NHSN is the most widely used HAI tracking system in the country. NHSN provides facilities, states, territories, and nations with the data they need to identify problem areas, measure progress in prevention efforts, and ultimately eliminate HAIs. In addition, NHSN allows healthcare facilities to track critical healthcare process measures such as antibiotic use and resistance, blood safety errors, and healthcare worker influenza vaccination status and infection prevention compliance rates. It will be.

CDC's annual National and State Healthcare-Associated Infectious Disease Progress Report (HAI Progress Report) details the HAIs most commonly reported to CDC's NHSN. This report addresses the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), specific surgical site infections (SSI), hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infections, and hospital-acquired methicillin infections. Describes national and state progress in. Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (bloodstream infection). Current HAI progress reports can be accessed through the data portal. Previous HAI progress reports can be accessed from the data archive.

About the Emerging Infections Program Healthcare-Associated Infections – Community Interface (EIP HAIC)

CDC's Emerging Infectious Diseases Program (EIP) is a national resource used to monitor, prevent, and control emerging infectious diseases. EIP is a network of state health departments and their partner local health departments, academic institutions, other federal agencies, and public health and clinical laboratories. Infection preventionist. and medical workers.

EIP's Healthcare-Associated Infectious Diseases-Community Interface Activity (HAIC) works with state health departments and their network of academic medical center partners to identify emerging HAI threats, advanced infection tracking methods, and important information about antibiotic resistance in the United States. We will help you answer your questions. The information collected through this activity will play an important role in shaping future policies and recommendations targeting HAI prevention.

About HAI Prevention Goals and the HHS HAI Action Plan

The United States has made significant progress toward the common goal of eliminating HAIs, and as a result, American health care is safer than it was a decade ago. Building on this success, it is important to continue working towards eliminating HAIs.

In 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released the National Action Plan to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections: A Roadmap to Elimination. (HAI Action Plan) sets specific five-year goals for HAI prevention. CDC plays a critical role in this plan by producing actionable data and leading the nation in tracking, preventing, and ultimately eliminating HAIs. These data also help identify areas for further improvement to enable continued progress.

In addition, CDC and other federal agencies, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), are collaborating to provide tools, recommendations, and tools to protect patients. A program that provides infection prevention strategies.

2015 marked the beginning of a new five-year (2015-2020) goal. It is time for the development of the HAI Action Plan and important updates and improvements to the NHSN. This was an opportunity to assess our prevention progress while strategizing how best to move forward as a country.

Antibiotic Resistance and Patient Safety Portal

The Antibiotic Resistance & Patient Safety Portal (AR&PSP) is an interactive web-based application created to innovatively display data collected through CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and other sources. Provides enhanced data visualization through four key components:

Antibiotic resistance – using data from NHSN and the AR Lab Network Antibiotic use and stewardship – using data from NHSN (Antibiotic Stewardship) and Quintiles IMS (antibiotic use) Xponent database Healthcare-associated infections – national and state Healthcare-Associated Infectious Diseases – Data Viewing Infectious Disease Progress Report Geographic Location – Displays HAI data, AR data, and antibiotic stewardship data for countries and states all on one page
