Hospital-acquired Infections in Pennsylvania 2006
This interactive database can be searched by hospital, by infection, and by peer group.

Selecting a hospital will show hospital-acquired infection data for the specified facility or for all facilities if that option is chosen.

Selecting an infection will show data for a single infection type, all infections (listed individually), or overall infection numbers (in aggregate). If a single infection is chosen, the user can sort the data by clicking on the measure of interest (e.g. clicking on the heading “Number of Cases” will sort the data by that measure).

Selecting a peer group will show the summary data for the peer group and display the data for each hospital in that peer group. Click here to access the 2006 Peer Group Directory.

To view the number of infections reported quarterly by each hospital click here, Hospital-acquired Infections Reported by Quarter.
