  • Healthcare-associated Infections in the United States, 2006-2016: A Story of Progress
    CDC uses NHSN, EIP, and HAI prevalence survey data to examine the nation’s progress in preventing five of the most common infections: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), select surgical site infections (SSIs), hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI), and hospital-onset methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia (bloodstream infections).

The standardized infection ratio (SIR) is a metric used to track HAIs. It compares the number of observed infections to the number of predicted infections, based on a national baseline. More information can be found in the NHSN’s Guide to the SIR Cdc-pdf[PDF – 3 MB].

2015 Data

  • SIR Report Under the 2015 Baseline
    SIRs are calculated using the updated national 2015 baseline. To coincide with the new, five-year (2015-2020) goals stated in the HAI Action Plan, the 2015 baseline will be used for all HAI measures beginning with data reported to NHSN in 2015.
  • National SIRs on the Historical Baselines
    CDC reviews and provides in-depth details about infection definition changes within NHSN that impacted data during that time period.

Blood and Body Fluid Exposure

  • Summary Report for Blood and Body Fluid Exposure Data Collected from Participating Healthcare Facilities (June 1995 through December 2007) Cdc-pdf[PDF – 3 MB]
    This report describes to the public health, the occupational health and safety, and infection control communities, the variety of occupational exposures to blood and body fluids that occur among healthcare providers (HCP).
    The National Surveillance System for Healthcare Workers (NaSH) was a voluntary surveillance system developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to systematically collect information important to the prevention of occupational exposures and infections among healthcare personnel (HCP).
    NaSH was established in 1995 by the Hospital Infections Program, National Center for Infectious Disease, in consultation with other divisions and institutes within CDC. NaSH collected surveillance data through 2007, and became a legacy system to the web-based National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Healthcare Personnel Safety Component which was launched in August 2009.
