Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections patients can get while receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. Working toward the elimination of HAIs is a CDC priority. The standardized infection ratio (SIR) is a summary statistic that can be used to track HAI prevention progress over time; lower SIRs are better. The infection data are reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Long Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACHs) are acute care hospitals that provide services and treatment for patients who are generally very sick and stay, on average, more than 25 days. This report is based on 2015 data, published in 2017 and uses the 2015 Baseline and risk-adjusted models.
