The National Healthcare Safety Network's digital quality measures: CDC's automated measures for surveillance of patient safety
Shehab N , Alschuler L , Mc ILvenna S , Gonzaga Z , Laing A , deRoode D , Dantes RB , Betz K , Zheng S , Abner S , Stutler E , Geimer R , Benin AL . J Am Med Inform Assoc 2024 OBJECTIVE: This article presents the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)'s approach to automation for public health surveillance using digital quality measures (dQMs) via an open-source tool (NHSNLink) and piloting of this approach using real-world data in a newly established collaborative program (NHSNCoLab). The approach leverages Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) application programming interfaces to improve data collection and reporting for public health and patient safety beginning with common, clinically significant, and preventable patient harms, such as medication-related hypoglycemia, healthcare facility-onset Clostridioides difficile infection, and healthcare-associated venous thromboembolism. CONCLUSIONS: The NHSN's FHIR dQMs hold the promise of minimizing the burden of reporting, improving accuracy, quality, and validity of data collected by NHSN, and increasing speed and efficiency of public health surveillance. |
Concurrent outbreak of norovirus genotype I and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli on a U.S. Navy Ship following a visit to Lima, Peru
Gonzaga VE , Ramos M , Maves RC , Freeman R , Montgomery JM . PLoS One 2011 6 (6) e20822 An outbreak of norovirus (NoV) genotype I and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) occurred among US Navy Ship personnel following a visit to Lima, Peru, in June 2008. Visiting a specific area in Lima was significantly associated with illness. While ETEC and NoV are commonly recognized as causative agents of outbreaks, co-circulation of both pathogens has been rarely observed in shipboard outbreaks. |
