Pediatric Ventilator-Associated Event Calculator

This is an electronically generated worksheet that demonstrates how the NHSN PedVAE surveillance definition algorithm works and assists in making VAE determinations. It requires that javascript is enabled. The user enters the following information: the date the patient began to have mechanical ventilation, MAP and/or FiO2 values. It provides a determination for when a ventilator associated condition is met.

MDRO & CDI LabID Event Calculator (Version 2.0)

This is an electronically generated worksheet that demonstrates how the NHSN Multidrug-Resistant Organism (MDRO) and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) Module applies the definitions, and assists in making the correct MDRO and CDI Lab ID determinations. It requires that javascript is enabled. The user enters the following information: the focus organism that is being tracked; whether it is for all specimens or solely blood specimens, the reporting month; it generates a printable table and determination if the criteria for a lab id event are met.

NHSN Healthcare-associated Infection (HAI) and Present on Admission (POA) Worksheet Generator

This is an electronically generated worksheet that outlines the infection window period, the repeat infection timeframe, and when appropriate, the secondary BSI Attribution Period. It can be used for multiple site-specific infection types (e.g. BSI, UTI and PNEU). The user independently determines if all NHSN infection criteria are met. It requires that javascript is enabled.

Mortality Attribution Tool

This tool provides an estimate of the number of healthcare-associated infection-related (HAI) deaths that occur over a given time period, an estimate of the number of lives that could be saved through a reduced HAI rate, and the option to add information about an intervention that could help achieve an applicable HAI reduction.

Hospital-Acquired Conditions Expenditures Tool

This tool is for facilities whose hospital-acquired condition (HAC) rates have resulted in a financial penalty in the previous year via the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) HAC Reduction Program. This report incorporates the facility’s preview or final HAC Reduction report data to provide an indication of whether user-proposed reductions in the facilities standardized infection ratios (SIRs) would have been sufficient to have avoided the financial penalty.
