ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To reduce the missing report rate of nosocomial infection(NI) by establishing relevant surveillance protocol,improve the early warming system of NI,and therefore prevent the outbreak and prevalence of NI.METHODS Based on Nosocomial Infection Diagnosis Standard published by Chinese Ministry of Health in 2001,116 213 patient data from Jan 2000 to Dec 2006 had been reviewed;factors associated with NI missing report rate had been reevaluated;measures to reduce the rate had been made;and the feedback information of NI control had been collected.Meanwhile,according to high risk factors provided by the hospital information system,the prospective investigations had been made.Surveillance protocol had been established as above.RESULTS By the implementation of the protocol,the missing report rate of NI had been under control,lower than the standard rate of 20% for tertiary hospitals.In 2005,the protocol was reinforced and the NI missing report rate had been reduced to 7.4% by 2006.CONCLUSIONS The real-time monitoring of NI cases is an effective way in reducing missing report rate of NI.
