National Surveillance Surgical Site Infections

Continue surveillance van Infecties na chirurgische ingrepen (NSIH-SSI) in de Belgische acute ziekenhuizen volgens standaard protocol en zoals bepaald in het KB van 19/06/2007 (BS 28/06/2007). De tellergegevens (infecties) worden ingezameld met vermelding van, per infectie, pathogeen en antimicrobiele resistentiemerkers, oorsprong, en verband met invasieve hulpmiddelen. De noemergegevens worden type chirurgie, geaggregeerd of per individuele patiënt verzameld. Confidentiële feedback van individuele resultaten naar de deelnemende ziekenhuizen, met trendanalyse en vergelijking met nationale gegevens. Regelmatige bespreking nationale resultaten op met federale en gemeenschapsautoriteiten. De surveillances NSIH-ICU en NSIH-SSI kaderen in de Europese surveillance richtlijnen van het Europees Parlement (2119/98/EC).
