1 Healthcare Associated Infection Report Key Healthcare Associated Infection Headlines April 20 data Section 1 Board Wide Issues Section 1 of the HAIRT covers Board wide infection prevention and control activity and actions. For reports on individual departments, please refer to the Healthcare Associated Infection Report Cards in Section 2. Staphylococcus aureus Bacteraemia Nil SAB to report. Clostridium difficile infection- Nil to report Hand Hygiene- Next bimonthly report due May. Cleaning and the Healthcare Environment- Facilities Management Tool Housekeeping Compliance 98.79% / Estates Compliance 98.95%. Surgical Site Infection-SSI rates within control limits. Although CABG and Cardiac SSI rates are within control limits, the PCIT have noted a slight increase. Local leads have been informed of this. No commonalties between surgeon/theatre/organism or new practices have been noted/reported. The team will continue to monitor. Other HAI Related Activity National Infection Control Manual Website and update Version 3 The NIPCM dedicated website was launched Wednesday 6 April. This is an innovative way of providing evidence based information and guidance on Infection Prevention and Control in Scotland in an easily accessible format. A short video by Fiona McQueen, Chief Nursing Officer for Scotland, has been added to the home page of the NIPCM website, supporting and reinforcing its use. Key Changes to Version 3 of the NIPCM include Update to face mask section to ensure Fluid resistant Type IIR used. Update to theatre headwear section to say Changed/disposed of between clinical procedures/tasks or if contaminated with blood and/or body fluid. Update to footwear section to ensure footwear to be able to withstand machine washing at 40 0 C or disinfection with a chlorine releasing agent. Problem Assessment Groups (PAG) - Locally convened group to further investigate an HAI issue (not outbreak) which may require additional multidisciplinary controls. PAGs Update Progress Nil to report Page 1 of 14
2 Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) Staphylococcus aureus is an organism which is responsible for a large number of healthcare associated infections, although it can also cause infections in people who have not had any recent contact with the healthcare system. The most common form of this is Meticillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), but the more well known is MRSA (Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which is a specific type of the organism which is resistant to certain antibiotics and is therefore more difficult to treat. More information on these organisms can be found at: MRSA: NHS Boards carry out surveillance of Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections, known as bacteraemias. These are a serious form of infection and there is a national target to reduce them. The number of patients with MSSA and MRSA bacteraemias for the Board can be found at the end of section 1 and for each hospital in section 2. Information on the national surveillance programme for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemias can be found at: GJNH approach to SAB prevention and reduction It is accepted within HPS that care must be taken in making comparisons with other Boards data because of the specialist patient population within GJNH. All SAB isolates identified within the laboratory are subject to case investigation to determine future learning and quality improvement. Small numbers of cases can quickly change our targeted approach to SAB reduction. The epidemiology of SAB infections had changed locally since April ; the corrective action plan developed in response to this change in epidemiology is near completion and progressed via the SAB Improvement Group. Broad HAI initiatives which influence our SAB rate include- Hand Hygiene monitoring MRSA screening at pre-assessment clinics and admission Compliance with National Housekeeping Specifications Audit of the environment and practices via Prevention and Control of Infection Annual Reviews & monthly SCN lead Standard Infection Control Precautions and Peer Review monitoring Participation in National Enhanced SAB surveillance- gaining further intelligence on the epidemiology of SAB. SSI Related SAB Introduction of MSSA screening for cardiac and subsequent treatment pre and Post op as a risk reduction approach. Surgical Site Infection Surveillance in collaboration with Health Protection Scotland and compared with Health Protection Agency data to allow rapid identification of increasing and decreasing trends of SSI. Standardisation of post op cardiac wound care. Development and implementation of a wound swabbing protocol and competency. Device Related SAB SPSP work streams continue to implement and aim to sustain compliance with PVC and CVC bundles. Page 2 of 14
3 Lan Qip allows assessment of compliance locally and helps target interventions accordingly. Implementation of PICC and IABP maintenance bundles. Ongoing testing of new combined PVC insertion and maintenance bundle Contaminated samples Blood Culture collection system to reduce risk of contaminants. SAB Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Heat Delivery Trajectories Boards are expected to achieve a rate of 0.24 cases per 1,000 acute occupied bed days or lower by year ending March 20. Boards currently with a rate of less than 0.24 are expected to at least maintain this, as reflected in their trajectories. GJNH have not achieved our LDP target of We have achieved the 20/ national trajectory for SAB reduction, identifying 11 SAB cases in this time period, with a target of less than 12. Our annual SAB rate April - March is 0.22 per 1000 occupied bed days. Between April and March we had noted an increased incidence in SAB cases (11 confirmed cases). Results of typing show these to be different strains of S.aureus All SABs identified are subject to root cause analysis in conjunction with the clinical area concerned to determine a source and identify improvement interventions where required. The Prevention and Control of Infection Team are working closely with the clinical teams involved and clinical educators to identify and address risk factors that may contribute to SAB acquisition.

5 Clostridium difficile Clostridium difficile is an organism which is responsible for a large number of healthcare associated infections, although it can also cause infections in people who have not had any recent contact with the healthcare system. More information can be found at: NHS Boards carry out surveillance of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), and there is a national target to reduce these. The number of patients with CDI for the Board can be found at the end of section 1 and for each hospital in section 2. Information on the national surveillance programme for Clostridium difficile infections can be found at: GJNH approach to CDI prevention and reduction Our numbers of CDI cases are low in comparison with other Boards, which is likely to relate to our specialist patient population. Actions to reduce CDI- Ongoing alert organism surveillance and close monitoring of the severity of cases by the PCIT. Unit specific reporting and triggers. Implementation of HPS Trigger Tool if trigger is breached. Implementation of HPS Severe Case Investigation Tool if the case definition is met Typing of isolates when two or more cases occur within 30 days in one unit. CDI LDP Heat Delivery Trajectories Boards are expected to achieve a rate of 0.32 cases CDI per 1,000 occupied bed days by year ending March 20. This relates to people aged and over. Boards currently with a rate of less than 0.32 are expected to at least maintain this, as reflected in their trajectories. Our annual CDI rate April - March is 0 per 1000 occupied bed days.

6 Hand Hygiene Good hand hygiene by staff, patients and visitors is a key way to prevent the spread of infections. More information on the importance of good hand hygiene can be found at: NHS Boards monitor hand hygiene and ensure a zero tolerance approach to non compliance. The hand hygiene compliance score for the Board can be found at the end of section 1 and for each hospital in section 2. Information on national hand hygiene monitoring can be found at: GJNH approach to Hand Hygiene The bimonthly report from March data indicates 97% compliance with Hand Hygiene in March. Medical Staff compliance has dropped to 89%. Senior Charge Nurses in theatres informed of drop in compliance and will remind staff of requirement to adhere with 5 key moments.

10 Healthcare Associated Infection Reporting Template (HAIRT) Section 2 Healthcare Associated Infection Report Cards The following section is a series of Report Cards that provide information, for each acute hospital and key community hospitals in the Board, on the number of cases of Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections (also broken down into MSSA and MRSA) and Clostridium difficile infections, as well as hand hygiene and cleaning compliance. In addition, there is a single report card which covers all community hospitals [which do not have individual cards], and a report which covers infections identified as having been contracted from outwith hospital. The information in the report cards is provisional local data, and may differ from the national surveillance reports carried out by Health Protection Scotland and Health Facilities Scotland. The national reports are official statistics which undergo rigorous validation, which means final national figures may differ from those reported here. However, these reports aim to provide more detailed and up to date information on HAI activities at local level than is possible to provide through the national statistics. Understanding the Report Cards Infection Case Numbers Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) cases are presented for each hospital, broken down by month. Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) cases are further broken down into Meticillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). More information on these organisms can be found on the NHS24 website: Clostridium difficile : Staphylococcus aureus : MRSA: For each hospital the total number of cases for each month are those which have been reported as positive from a laboratory report on samples taken more than 48 hours after admission. For the purposes of these reports, positive samples taken from patients within 48 hours of admission will be considered to be confirmation that the infection was contracted prior to hospital admission and will be shown in the out of hospital report card. Targets There are national targets associated with reductions in C. difficile and SABs. More information on these can be found on the Scotland Performs website: Understanding the Report Cards Hand Hygiene Compliance Hospitals carry out regular audits of how well their staff are complying with hand hygiene. Each hospital report card presents the combined percentage of hand hygiene compliance with both opportunity taken and technique used broken down by staff group. Understanding the Report Cards Cleaning Compliance Hospitals strive to keep the care environment as clean as possible. This is monitored through cleaning and estates compliance audits. More information on how hospitals carry out these audits can be found on the Health Facilities Scotland website: Understanding the Report Cards Out of Hospital Infections Clostridium difficile infections and Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) bacteraemia cases are all associated with being treated in hospitals. However, this is not the only place a patient may contract an infection. This total will also include infection from community sources such as GP surgeries and care homes. The final Report Card report in this section covers Out of Hospital Infections and reports on SAB and CDI cases reported to a Health Board which are not attributable to a hospital. Page 10 of 14
