2 1.7 Million Cases and 99,000 deaths annually  32 percent are urinary tract infections  22 percent are surgical site infections  15 percent are pneumonia (lung infections)  14 percent are bloodstream infections

3  Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection  Comprise 32% of all HAIs; average cost is $3,200  Duration is most important patient risk (3-7% per day)  26% of patients cathed 2-10 days develop bacteriuria  24% of patients with bacteriuria will develop CAUTI  3% of patients with CAUTI will develop bacteremia  Most infections are asymptomatic  Staff must understand caregiver risk factors

4  Surgical Site Infections comprise 22% of all HAIs  Develop within 30 days of operation (1 year w/implant)  Up to 5% of surgical patients; average cost is $25,000  SSI HAIs on Hospital Acquired Conditions “List” ◦ Mediastinitis following CABG ◦ SSI following Bariatric Surgery including Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass or Restrictive Surgery and Gastroenterostomy ◦ SSI following Orthopedic Procedures of Spine, Neck, Shoulder and Elbow  Staff must understand caregiver risk factors

5  Pneumonia comprises 15% of all HAIs and  Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia increases risk 6-21%  VAP occurs in 8-28% of MV patients; cost $49,000  Usually occurs within 4 days of intubation  Overall rate 1-4 cases per 1,000 ventilator days  Rate varies by hospital area, highest in burn, trauma, neuro/neurosurgical and surgical care patients  Most commonly caused by S Aureus and Pseudomonas  Staff must understand risk factors

6  Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections  Comprise 14% of HAIs and cost $34,500-$56,000  CRBSI rates vary depending on the type of catheter used and the patient's underlying condition.  CVC BSI rate 5.3 per 1000 catheter days in the ICU  Common pathogens are staph and enterococcus  Staff education makes a difference in prevention

7  Human Impact  Direct medical costs range from $35.7 to $45 billion  Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HAC) and Present on Admission (POA) Indicator Reporting  Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS)  “Quality adjustment” to hospital payments  No additional pay for HACs and HAIs
