Mobile offers an international deepwater port on the Gulf of Mexico. Community being served includes high population from Asia, Philippines, Korea, Mexico and South America. Monitoring the case mix of our patient population including nursing homes and rehabilitation centers primarily from the local community. Prevalence of disease in the community served. Utilization of the J. L Morgan & Associates patient satisfaction survey for inpatient and outpatient services. Infection Prevention and Control problems, significant trends, or special events that have occurred within the previous year. 5
National and local initiatives such as CDC, OSHA, Alabama Department of Public Health, Association for Professionals in Infection Prevention and Control and Epidemiology (APIC), and Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA). Care Fusion/MedMined benchmarking data both state and national comparisons. Review of current literature. For the full details of the annual Risk Assessment refer to Attachment VII. High Priority Risk for 2015: Risk assessment determined the following indicators: Care Fusion/Med Mined scorecard and patterns Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) collection and reporting. Numerator: Symptomatic CAUTI (SUTI) and Asymptomatic Bacteremic UTI (ABUTI) that is catheter associated. Denominator: Patients with indwelling urinary catheter device days. Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) collection and reporting. Numerator: Bloodstream Infection that is catheter associated. Denominator: Patients with Central Line Catheter device days. Ventilator Associated Event (VAE) surveillance monthly collection and reporting. Numerator: Ventilated patients who develop Ventilator-Associated Condition (VAC), Infection-Related Ventilator-Associated Complication (IVAC), Possible Ventilator- Associated pneumonia, or Probable Ventilator-Associated pneumonia. Denominator: Patient ventilator days. Surgical site infection risk stratification - The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) risk index consists of a score from 0-3 based on the number of risk factors present among these three: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) preoperative assessment score 3, 4 or 5. Operation classified as either contaminated or dirty-infected. Operation cut time with duration of surgery more than T hours, where T depends on the operative procedure being performed. Post-discharge surveillance of surgical site infections is done on a monthly basis. As a result of the 2014 HAI data and the 2015 Infection Prevention and Control Risk Assessment the following organisms have been identified as high risk and are most in need of organizational focus and resource planning: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (CDI). Organisms identified for moderate risk: resistant Pseudomonas, resistant Acinetobacter, Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus, and Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase. Surveillance of multidrug resistant organisms will be done in keeping with National Patient Safety Goals. Electronic alerts have been established in the Sunrise System and Care Fusion/Med Mined System. Refer to attachment for full risk assessment 6
VII. Internal Risk by Location: A review of literature combined with historical data has identified the following hospital locations as high risk/high morbidity areas of the medical center: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Cardiac Intervention Unit Surgery Labor and Delivery Oncology IX. Surveillance and Prevention Strategy: The goal of the SMC Infection Prevention and Control Program is to assess, prevent, and control healthcare-associated infections. Targeted areas for intensive surveillance, prevention, and control are determined by the impact of infection on morbidity and mortality. Data used for making such determinations are obtained from the medical literature and SMC surveillance data. Research shows as surgical wound infections, healthcare-associated pneumonia, and invasive device related sepsis have the highest impact on morbidity and mortality, our primary surveillance and prevention activities involve programs designed to reduce the number of these healthcare associated infections utilizing continual quality improvement methodologies and techniques. SMC embodies the philosophy of priority-directed surveillance. Priority-directed, sitespecific benefits: flexible and adaptable to needs and problems, external data for comparison, and resource-based epidemiologically sound method. Surveillance must include infection reporting in compliance with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) and the Mike Denton Infection Reporting Act. Data is submitted through National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) which includes Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) in all Nursing Units defined as Unit 1100, 1200, 2200, 3200, 3300, 3400, 3500, 4200, and ICU, Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) in all Nursing Units, all inpatient colon and all inpatient abdominal hysterectomy procedure infections, MRSA bacteremia Lab ID Events, CDI Lab ID Events, CRE Lab ID Events, and Ventilator-Associated Events. In addition, daily review of the reports available from the Microbiology laboratory on positive cultures results and Care Fusion/Med Mined data. Monitoring of isolation and hand hygiene compliance will be on going by the Infection Prevention and Control staff. Problem oriented surveillance is utilized when dictated by outbreak or exposure situations. Underlying our total program is the philosophy of continuous quality improvement (CQI). Data collection is ongoing and includes risk factors that contribute to the development of healthcare-associated infections. Data will be collected and analyzed by the Infection Prevention and Control Department under the supervision of the Director of Infection Prevention and Control and the Chairman of the Infection Prevention and Control Committee. Case findings are accomplished through evaluation of daily Care Fusion/Med Mined reports, daily rounds, with an emphasis in targeted areas; referrals by unit nurses, allied health professionals, case management, laboratory reports, computer based reports and related surveillance mechanisms. 7
Analysis is conducted on an ongoing basis that includes stratification of risk factors related to infection. Results will be reported at least quarterly and when appropriate, to the Infection Prevention and Control Committee. Trends found will be discussed, then recommendations for actions will be made and interaction/information will be sent to appropriate committees. Support services include microbiology and serological services seven days a week. Influenza Vaccination Methodology: Influenza vaccination of adults has shown to be cost-effective by reducing both direct medical costs and indirect costs from absenteeism. Several studies demonstrated that the vaccination of adults aged less than 65 years resulted in fewer healthcare provider visits, fewer lost workdays, fewer days working with reduced effectiveness, and a decrease in antibiotic use. Seasonal influenza vaccines and mist will be offered to all staff, volunteers, students, physicians, and contract staff free of charge. All staff must have a medical contraindication or religious belief form if they do not take the influenza vaccine or mist. Multiple options will be available to provide vaccine to staff including clinics, personal appointments, rolling cart with unit-to-unit offering, and staff meeting as manager s request. Compliance rates of influenza vaccine or mist are determined by the percent of staff receiving the vaccine or mist. Numerator: Healthcare Provider (HCP) receiving the vaccine Denominator: Number of HCP who worked at this healthcare facility for at least 1 day between October 1 st and March 31 st (The staff population does not include any staff on leave). Influenza rates are reported to the Infection Prevention and Control Committee. Data is submitted through NHSN to CMS. X. Staffing: The Infection Prevention and Control Department recommends and approves 4.8 FTE's and the following resource allocations. One full-time Director of Epidemiology, 1.0 FTE One full-time Infection Preventionist, 1.0 FTE One full-time Infection Prevention/ Employee Health Nurse, 1.8 FTE One part-time Employee Health Nurse, 0.5 FTE One part-time Infection Prevention/Employee Health Office Manager, 0.5 FTE The department is available Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Continuous access to an Infection Prevention and Control Director is available through the on-call system 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and back-up coverage by the Employee Health Nurse. 8
XI. Other Key Functions of Infection Control: Response to Bioterrorism SMC has policies and procedures that provide for the continuation of patient care during an event involving bioterrorism.
