RT-NISS obtained the highest hospital-wide monthly NI rate of 2.62%, while physician and medical record reviews reported rates of 1.52% and 2.35% respectively. It took about two hours for one infection control practitioner (ICP) to deal with 70 new suspicious NI cases; there were 3,500 inpatients each day in the study hospital. The system could also provide various updated data (i.e. the daily NI rate, surgical site infection (SSI) rate) for each ward, or the entire hospital. Within 3 years of implementing RT-NISS, the ICPs monitored and successfully controlled about 30 NI clusters and 4 outbreaks at the study hospital.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Just like the \u201cICPs\u2019 eyes\u201d, RT-NISS was an essential and efficient tool for the day-to-day monitoring of all NIs and outbreak within the hospital; a task that would not have been accomplished through manual process.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6947-14-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,29]],"date-time":"2014-01-29T12:05:14Z","timestamp":1390997114000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Real-time automatic hospital-wide surveillance of nosocomial infections and outbreaks in a large Chinese tertiary hospital"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mingmei","family":"Du","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yubin","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jijiang","family":"Suo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Bowei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Na","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Huo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chunping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yunxi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"781_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1053\/jhin.2000.0736","volume":"45","author":"ET Smyth","year":"2000","unstructured":"Smyth ET, Emmerson AM: Surgical site infection surveillance.
