Infection preventionists collaborate with perioperative personnel to decrease SSI rates; they also monitor and report SSI information to national organizations. The standard infection ratio is a comparison of the observed number of SSIs to the predicted number of SSIs based on national benchmark data. Leaders of a midwestern teaching hospital convened an interdisciplinary team (eg, surgeons, perioperative leaders, infection preventionists) to address a standard infection ratio after hysterectomies that was greater than 1.0. The team reviewed national guidelines and published articles on decreasing SSIs (including recommendations for vaginal preparation) before developing and implementing a hysterectomy-specific bundle for SSI prevention. The rate of SSIs decreased 68% after the implementation of the bundle. Perioperative personnel at this facility continue to use the bundle and infection preventionists monitor and report compliance with the bundle's elements.</p>","PeriodicalId":54317,"journal":{"name":"Aorn Journal","volume":"118 4","pages":"240-248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41173776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
