|
Do you mean "reported once per patient"? Because it could legitimately be duplicated in data if it happened twice, and it would now be more "per service admission" than "per patient" |
- On quarterly basis based on discharge dates, tabulate the number of cases on acquired and total number of patient days or Total ICU_LOS in Length of Stay (ICU Report)
Definition and Derivation
Number of CAUTI cases per 1000 ICU patient days
Numerator
Number of new ICU CAUTI acquired cases
|
|
Just to be clear, is it number of cases (possibly >1 per pt) or once per pt as mentioned above? |
Denominator
Total ICU_LOS in Length of Stay (ICU Report)
