Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent this bulletin at 04/15/2013 02:53 PM EDT
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) released the 2011 Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) Report based on data from the 31 hospitals in the State. Overall, statewide infection rates are showing improvement. A total of 110 HAIs were reported for 2011, compared with 114 in 2010 and 134 in 2009. The overall observed number of HAIs in New Hampshire hospitals was 40% lower than predicted based on national data; there were 42% fewer central line-associated bloodstream infections and 40% fewer surgical site infections.
Statewide adherence to four infection-prevention practices during central line insertions was 95.7% (similar to 2010). Antimicrobial prophylaxis was given accurately more often than the national average (over 97%). The overall staff influenza vaccination rate was 88.5%, which has been significantly improving since 2008 and close to the Healthy People 2020 goal of 90%.
