Hospital Report Cards

VBCH began reporting hospital quality data in 2004 believing that consumers care about hospital quality and the care they recieve.   Our key initiative through The Leapfrog Group invites 91 hospitals Virginia-wie to complete The Leapfrog Hospital Survey.  For your convenience, we have published some of the report cards, which follow.  Visit the Leapforg Hospital Survey web site for a FREE, interactive report on quality, safety and resource use of hospitals here in Virginia and nationwide.

Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)

Virginia Department of Health, Office of Epidemiology
Healthcare-Associated Infections Report
Effective July 1, 2008, all acute care hospitals in Virginia were mandated by state law to make
information on healthcare-associated (e.g., nosocomial) infections reportable to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Virginia regulations state that all acute care hospitals
shall collect and report data on central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in
adult intensive care units (ICUs). The results of reporting may be released to the public by the
Virginia Department of Health (VDH) upon request. This report includes information on CLABSIs that occurred in adult intensive care units in Virginia hospitals within the date range given at the top of this report. Data on healthcare-associated infections is provided for each of Virginia’s 77 acute care or critical access hospitals that have at least one adult intensive care unit. Hospitals in this report are categorized by the number of licensed hospital beds. This report is useful for measuring individual hospital performance over time. The information can also help consumers ask physicians and hospital representatives informed questions about infection control and prevention. You are encouraged to contact your healthcare facility or visit their web site to learn more about their infection prevention program. Additional details about this report can be obtained by contacting VDH, Office of Epidemiology, at (804) 864-8141 or via e-mail at epi-comments@vdh.virginia.gov
