Health care-associated infection reporting: the need for ongoing reliability and validity assessment.

Rocco J Perla1, Carol J Peden, Donald Goldmann, Robert Lloyd.   

Abstract

Government-mandated reporting of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and new reimbursement regulations place a premium on accurate and reliable detection of HAIs. This commentary addresses the challenges and opportunities of having consistent, well-defined, and continuous methods in place to ensure the reliability and validity of HAI detection and reporting. In addition, such procedures could support the development and expertise of infection preventionists. A Web-based clinical vignette model is suggested for improving HAI reporting for hospitals participating in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network.
