Abstract

Healthcare-associated infection reporting validation is essential because this information is increasingly used in public healthcare quality assurances and care reimbursement. Washington State’s validation of central line-associated bloodstream infection reporting applies credible quality sciences methods to ensure that hospital reporting accuracy is maintained. This paper details findings and costs from our experience.
