The infection control staffing measures now available on the website show the number of infection prevention and control staff for every 100 authorized hospital beds. These new data supplement the information on central line-associated bloodstream infections already provided on the report card.
The Hospital Report Card Act requires all Illinois hospitals to report nurse staffing, infection prevention measures and hospital-acquired infections data to the IDPH. The website includes inpatient and outpatient data with current comparison information related to volume of cases, average charges, mortality rates, complications and hospital-associated infections.
