Maryland Hospital Compliance - Detail

Surgery Patients Who Were Given the Right Kind of Antibiotic to Help Prevent Infection

Choosing the appropriate antibiotic is critical because it must be effective in preventing infections caused by bacteria likely to be present around the surgical site. Antibiotic selection therefore varies depending on the type of surgery. Guidelines for appropriate antibiotic selection have been developed by the CDC.

Maryland Hospitals with Low Compliance for this Procedure

Low compliance describes hospitals that followed this infection prevention procedure 79 percent of the time or less. The compliance level of hospitals which report a small number of cases (fewer than 25) should not be regarded as reliably predicting performance; these hospitals are displayed in italics and include Note 1. "Patients" is the number of patients for which data was submitted. The change columns describe the change in compliance and the change in the number of patients as compared to the previous quarter. Click the hospital names to access detailed information. The chart below lists hospitals in order based on the number of patients sampled (hospitals serving the largest number of patients first). You can re-sort the table by clicking on the table headers.
