Many hospitals in the state have had trouble navigating the federal hospital-acquired infection reporting system, Gail Finley, a chief of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said. In addition, the federal database cannot collect data for ambulatory surgery centers, so Colorado's 102 surgery centers are unable to comply with the mandate, the Post reports.
So far, 57 of the state's 79 hospitals are tracking infection rates for heart bypass surgery, and hip and knee replacements. Those facilities also are tracking bloodstream infections acquired in intensive care units, the Post reports.
