Oregon Health Policy and Research Oregon Healthcare Acquired Infections Report


Oregon’s hospitals reported a reduction in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) as well as a potential cost savings as a result of hospitals’ enhanced infection prevention activities.

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in hospital intensive care units (ICUs) have decreased 55% from 2009 - 2011, and the estimated healthcare cost savings for this infection ranges from $600,000 to $2.5 million during those years.  In addition, Oregon has demonstrated a 10% reduction in surgical site infections (SSIs) from coronary artery bypass graft surgeries and a 20% reduction in SSIs from knee replacement surgeries since 2009.


The report highlights:
In 2011, Oregon introduced 5 new HAI measures and 4 are now below the national average.
*CLABSIs in ICUs (44% lower)
*Abdominal hysterectomy SSIs (21% lower)
*Colon surgery SSIs (20% lower)
*Laminectomy SSIs (31% lower)

However, the hip replacement SSI rate was reported to be 13% higher than the national average.
