National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (NNIS)

NNIS Report has been replaced with new NHSN Report

July 30, 2007

The latest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) containing comparative healthcare-associated infection rates for hospitals is comprised of data from the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) for the year 2006. The 2006 NHSN Report was published in the June 2007 issue of American Journal of Infection Control. It contains device-associated infection rates and device utilization ratios for various types of intensive care units and other patient care areas. It does not contain surgical site infection (SSI) rates or antimicrobial use and resistance (AUR) rates, as the amount of data for these calculations was insufficient to produce stable estimates. Those who wish to compare SSI and AUR rates to the national aggregates may do so using the data in the 2004 NNIS Report
