Study Summary

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur frequently and are associated with patient harm. It is important that healthcare facilities take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of resistant bacteria. ESKAPE bacteria (Enterococcus, S. aureus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter spp.) are particularly pathogenic. Isolation of these pathogens from intraoperative reservoirs has been associated with postoperative infection development (i.e. surgical site infections). This project involves implementation of a software platform and bacterial collection system (OR PathTrac) that leverages the epidemiology of intraoperative bacterial transmission to guide dynamic, prospective improvements in perioperative infection control measures. The investigators will assess the effectiveness of OR PathTrac feedback in optimizing an evidence-based, multifaceted, perioperative infection control program.
