Central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates are measured and monitored by infection prevention and control staff as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of their infection control protocols. CLABSI rates are calculated by dividing the number of central line bloodstream infections by the total number of days in which patients had a central line in the ICU in each reporting period. The rate is reported per 1,000 patient line days. The Canadian benchmark for each type of intensive care units (Adult, Neonatal, Pediatric) are included in the dataset. Data fields include: Year, Quarter, Category, Health Authority, Health Authority Zone, Canadian benchmark, CLABSI rate

Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) rates while in hospital are measured and monitored by infection prevention and control staff as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of their infection control protocols. CDI rates are calculated by dividing the number of clostridium difficile infections by the total number of patient days. This rate is then multiplied by 10,000 to make a standard CDI infection rate for each reporting period. The rate is reported per 10,000 patient days. The Canadian benchmark CDI rate is included in the dataset. Data fields include: Year, Quarter, Health Authority, Health Authority Zone, CDI Rate, Canadian benchmark

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection rates while in hospital are measured and monitored by infection prevention and control staff as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of their infection control protocols. MRSA rates are calculated by dividing the number of clostridium difficile infections by the total number of patient days. This rate is then multiplied by 10,000 to make a standard MRSA infection rate for each reporting period. The rate is reported per 10,000 patient days. The Canadian benchmark MRSA rate is included in the dataset. Data fields include: Year, Quarter, Health Authority, Health Authority Zone, MRSA Rate, Canadian benchmark.
