CLABIs is being reported and validated in ICUs.  It would be very difficult to determine the denominator data on the Medical Surgical units.  Without validation of the accuracy I cannot see this being a benefit. 

CDI public reporting the number of csses does not accurately differentiate between community acquired and other healthcare associated (non-acute care).  Reporting the number of cases will not be a good indicator for the public, it will just be numbers that they cannot understand

Data is currently publicy reported, this would be a duplicate effort.

Not sure I could download my informtaion into NHSN. 

HAI rates can mislead consumers if inaccurate information is disseminated.  There are still too many limitation of current data collection methodolgoies, case definitions, and lack of validation. 

At our state meeting we have has sessions on case studies and identify the HAI, there were lots of different answers. 

I am in full support of evidence based measures to reduce infections but mandatory reporting will only increase the IP workload on data collecting, instead of prevention.
