Validation of an algorithm for semiautomated surveillance to detect deep surgical site infections after primary total hip or knee arthroplasty—A multicenter study

Abstract: Objective: Surveillance of healthcare-associated infections is often performed by manual chart review. Semiautomated surveillance may substantially reduce workload and subjective data interpretation. We assessed the validity of a previously published algorithm for semiautomated surveillance of deep surgical site infections (SSIs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Dutch hospitals. In addition, we explored the ability of a hospital to automatically select the patients un… Show more

“…Additionally, information publicly available regarding surveillance systems is not exhaustive, and usually has a technical focus, whereas the process of actual implementation, architecture, maintenance and workflow are generally not systematically published [42]. For these reasons, three successfully implemented AS systems are described in greater detail, focusing on the aspects that are not described in scientific reports [18,20,29,30,42,43]. A concise overview of these systems is provided in Figure 3.…”

“…Development of new algorithms and HAI outcomes is ongoing, in close collaboration with clinical departments. Experiences are being transferred to the national surveillance network 'PREZIES' that is currently preparing a strategy to implement the semi-automated algorithm for SSIs after orthopaedic surgery nationally [20].…”

“…Even though human interpretation is still required in semiautomated systems, the number of charts that require manual review is typically reduced by >65%, and for some types of SSI >95% [18,35]. Semiautomated surveillance is being used for SSI and CLABSI [29,36,37].…”
