Qsource works with hospitals to:

• Decrease national HAI Standardized Infection Ratios (SIRs) by demonstrating significant, quantitative, measurable reductions in hospital acute-care settings for Medicare beneficiaries.
• Prevent the occurrence of HAIs in hospital provider settings using evidence-based HAI prevention strategies.
• Focus on antimicrobial stewardship programs, tracking HAIs in multiple settings and vaccination health.

CLABSI
Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) – We help hospitals achieve a SIR that is significantly less than 1.0. We also help develop a sustainability plan to ensure that CLABSI SIR remains low or is steadily decreasing.

CAUTI
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) – We pair high-performing hospital-based providers to serve as mentors with providers who need help reducing CAUTI SIR rates.

CDI
Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) – We recruit and help providers to enter their baseline CDI date into the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). We will host educational sessions on effective programs of antimicrobial stewardship

VAE
Ventilator-Associated Events (VAE) – We will conduct VAE Learning and Action network (LAN) events detailing definitions, CDC’s NHSN reporting, interventional strategies and cultural competency.
