“…18 This variability, combined with less comprehensive case finding, tends to lead toward underreporting of CLABSI by traditional surveillance. 6,[19][20][21] Thus, while electronic surveillance may report a higher rate than traditional surveillance, the "true rate" is probably somewhere in between. Since we did not have traditional manual surveillance in place in the study units, we were not able to validate this assumption as part of our study.…”

Manual surveillance for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) by infection prevention practitioners is time-consuming and often limited to intensive care units (ICUs). An automated surveillance system using existing databases with patientlevel variables and microbiology data was investigated.

“…Sensitivity and specificity reported by Backman et al 7 (Connecticut, United States) were 48% and 99%, respectively, and McBryde et al 9 (Victoria, Australia) reported 61% and 70%, respectively. In both cases, the low sensitivity was attributed to misinterpretation of NNIS criterion 2b for CLABSI.…”

“…The SPIN-BACC surveillance methods have been described in detail elsewhere. 6,7 This project was approved by the McGill University Institutional Review Board and by the directors of professional services of all participating institutions. Participating ICUs provided a list (data set 1) containing all CLABSIs (see definitions in Table 1) reported to SPIN-BACC for the year under study, as well as a second list (data set 2) of all ICU BSIs that occurred during the same period but were not classified as CLABSI by the local surveillance teams.…”

“…The process of identifying and reporting CLABSI has been described as complicated and complex due to the everchanging definition of what constitutes a CLABSI and ambiguity about where infections come from, and complex medical patients are at higher risk of contracting a CLABSI (Backman, Melchreit, & Rodriguez, 2010;Hazamy et al, 2013). Hospitals and infection preventionists use the LCBI system to report to the NHSN, while healthcare providers treat patients with CLABSI, who are assigned codes based on the World Health Organization's ICD and used by the CMS and the NHSN.…”

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a very common source of healthcare-associated infection (HAI). Incidence of CLABSI has been significantly reduced through the efforts of nurses, healthcare providers, and infection preventionists. Extrinsic factors such as recently enacted legislation and mandatory reporting have not been closely examined in relation to changes in rates of HAI. The following review will examine evidence-based practices related to CLABSI and how they are reported, as well as how the Affordable Care Act, mandatory reporting, and pay-for-performance programs have affected these best practices related to CLABSI prevention. There is a disconnect in the methods and guidelines for reporting CLABSI between these programs, specifically among local monitoring agencies and the various federal oversight organizations. Future research will focus on addressing the gap in what defines a CLABSI and whether or not these programs to incentivize hospital to reduce CLABSI rates are effective.
