Electronic surveillance systems (ESSs) that utilize existing information in databases are more efficient than conventional infection surveillance methods. The objective was to assess an ESS for bloodstream infections (BSIs) in the Calgary Zone for its agreement with traditional medical record review. Methods. The ESS was developed by linking related data from regional laboratory and hospital administrative databases and using set definitions for excluding contaminants and duplicate isolates. Infections were classified as hospital-acquired (HA), healthcare-associated community-onset (HCA), or community-acquired (CA). A random sample of patients from the ESS was then compared with independent medical record review. Results. Among the 308 patients selected for comparative review, the ESS identified 318 episodes of BSI of which 130 (40.9%) were CA, 98 (30.8%) were HCA, and 90 (28.3%) were HA. Medical record review identified 313 episodes of which 136 (43.4%) were CA, 97 (30.9%) were HCA, and 80 (25.6%) were HA. Episodes of BSI were concordant in 304 (97%) cases. Overall, there was 85.5% agreement between ESS and medical record review for the classification of where BSIs were acquired (kappa = 0.78, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.75–0.80). Conclusion. This novel ESS identified and classified BSIs with a high degree of accuracy. This system requires additional linkages with other related databases.Item Embargo Use of accelerated hydrogen peroxide skin cleanser to reduce methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureaus colonization in clients of the Calgary crop-in and rehab centre(2010) Winkinson, Krista; Henderson, Elizabeth A.Item Open Access Use of Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide Skin Cleanser to Reduce Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Colonization in Clients of the Calgary Drop-In and Rehab Centre(2010) Wilkinson, Krista; Henderson, Elizabeth A.
