MRSA can be found in bed linens or medical equipment and can be spread if providers do not properly wash their hands between patients. Staph bacteria are common in hospitals, but Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to (cannot be killed by) many antibiotics. A number lower than one means fewer infections than expected a number more than one means more infections than expected. This number represents a comparison of the number of infections after colon surgery that actually happened at this hospital to the number of infections expected for this hospital, given the types of patients they care for and other factors like a patient’s age and type of surgery. A patient with this type of infection often faces a long recovery in the ICU.
These infections can be very serious, and may spread throughout the body. This infection happens after surgery in the part of the colon where the surgery took place. What's This? Surgical site infection after colon surgery Surgical site infection after colon surgery This number represents a comparison of the number of catheter-associated infections in the urinary tract that actually happened at this hospital to the number of infections expected for this hospital, given the number of catheters used and other factors like facility type and size. These serious infections can lead to other complications, increase recovery time, and can often lead to death. Patients with catheters are at risk for developing a dangerous infection in the urinary tract. If a patient is in the hospital, he or she may require a urinary catheter. What's This? Infection in the urinary tract
Note: The standardized infection ratio (SIR) includes some data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This number represents a comparison of the number of central line-associated infections in the blood that actually happened at this hospital to the number of infections expected for this hospital, given the number of central lines used and other factors like facility type and size. Patients with a central line are at high risk for developing a dangerous infection in the blood. If a patient is in the hospital, he or she may be given a central line (a tube inserted into the body to deliver medication and other treatments). This number represents the number of times patients experienced falls or other types of trauma for every 1,000 people discharged. Patient falls and injuries increase time in the hospital, require additional care, and can result in permanent disability. Falls can happen when patients who really can’t walk on their own try getting out of bed, often to go to the restroom. One common problem that patients face in the hospital is a serious injury or death resulting from a fall or other kind of trauma. This number represents the number of times patients had an air or gas bubble in the blood for every 1,000 people discharged. If blood flow is blocked, a patient can suffer a stroke or die. This serious mistake can happen during surgery or other procedures, like getting an injection. What's This? Air or gas bubble in the bloodĪn air or gas bubble (air embolism) stops blood from flowing through the body. This number represents the number of times dangerous objects were left inside patients for every 1,000 people discharged. Many patients become severely ill, disabled, or even die. This problem doesn’t happen often, but if it does happen it can be extremely dangerous. Most times the object is a surgical sponge, which can quickly get infected. What's This? Dangerous object left in patient’s bodyĪ surgeon can accidentally leave an object inside a patient’s body during surgery. Outcomes measures include errors, accidents, and injuries that this hospital has publicly reported.
