Southern California Hospital at Culver City Hits 1,000-Day Infection-Free Milestone
CULVER CITY, Calif., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Hospital at Culver City (SCHCC) has reached a significant milestone for low rates of two healthcare-associated infections (HAI), hitting more than 1,000 days free of central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) and more than 750 days free of catheter-associate urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
加利福尼亚库尔弗城，2024年6月26日 / PRNewswire / - 南加州库尔弗市医院（SCHCC）在两种与医疗保健相关的感染低发率方面达到了重要里程碑，超过1,000天没有中心静脉关联血流感染（CLABSI）和超过750天没有导管相关性尿路感染（CAUTI）。
SCHCC's dedication to detecting and preventing HAIs has led to ongoing quality improvements in its clinical practice, medical procedures, and infection prevention efforts. These include improvements to risk assessment and surveillance activities, education, environmental cleaning, lab testing, and wearing of personal protective equipment.
SCHCC为检测和预防HAI作出的努力，已经在其临床实践，医疗程序和防感染工作方面取得了持续的质量改进。这些改进包括风险评估和监测活动，教育，环境清洁，实验室测试和个人防护装备的改进。
"Our hospital has achieved a remarkable milestone in maintaining low rates of HAIs," said Omar Ramirez, CEO. "This accomplishment reflects our exceptional dedication, expertise, and commitment to patient safety. Our collaborative efforts and pursuit of excellence have set a new standard for our hospital quality system."
“我们的医院在保持低水平的HAI方面取得了卓越的里程碑，”首席执行官Omar Ramirez说。 “这一成就反映了我们卓越的奉献精神，专业知识和对患者安全的承诺。我们的协作努力和追求卓越，已经为我们的医院质量体系树立了新的标准。”
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CAUTI and CLABSI are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs, and length of stay.
根据美国卫生和公众服务部（HHS）的数据，CAUTI和CLABSI与增加的发病率，死亡率，医疗保健成本和住院时间有关。
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) utilizes the National Healthcare Safety Network standard infection ration (SIR) as the standard measure to track healthcare-associated infections. CMS expects an SIR rate of zero for both CLABSI and CAUTI. The average California hospital has a CLABSI SIR rate of 0.769 (0.738 nationally) and a CAUTI SIR rate of 0.710 (0.593 nationally). SCHCC has maintained the CMS expected rate of zero for more than three years for CLABSI and more than two years for CAUTI. These significant milestones demonstrate the quality of patient care at SCHCC compared to other hospitals.
美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）采用国家医疗保障安全网络标准感染比率（SIR）作为跟踪医疗保健相关感染的标准举措。CMS预期CLABSI和CAUTI的SIR率为零。加利福尼亚州的平均医院CLABSI的SIR率为0.769（全国为0.738），CAUTI的SIR率为0.710（全国为0.593）。 SCHCC已经超过三年保持了CMS对CLABSI的零预期水平，对于CAUTI而言超过了两年。这些重要的里程碑展示了SCHCC与其他医院相比，提供的优质患者护理。
"Reducing HAIs is a key priority for us," said Marie Aragon, chief nursing officer at Southern California Hospital. "From meticulous hand hygiene practices to rigorous infection control protocols, our team's attention to detail has made a significant difference in the health and well-being of our patients."
南加州医院首席护士Marie Aragon说：“减少HAI是我们的重点。” “从一丝不苟的手部卫生实践到严格的感染控制协议，我们团队的细心工作在改善我们患者的健康和福祉方面产生了明显的影响。”
Earlier this month, SCHCC received a Four-Star Rating for Overall Hospital Quality from CMS. Only 27% of hospitals nationwide included in the CMS annual Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings received either four or five stars.
本月早些时候，SCHCC获得了CMS的全面医院质量四星评级。 CMS年度全面医院质量星级评定中，仅有27％的全国医院获得了四星或五星评级。
