Continuing antibiotics beyond 24 hours after the end of surgery does not offer any additional protection when it comes to preventing infections. But the prolonged use of antibiotics can be associated with other complications and can encourage antibiotic resistance.
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.

This chart describes the infection prevention compliance rates for this procedure for all reporting hospitals in the state. This list also includes hospitals that did not submit any data to CMS for this procedure or do not have cause to perform this procedure. 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.
