In the absence of a national health care-associated infection surveillance program in Australia, differences between existing state-based programs were explored using an online survey. Only 51% of respondents who undertake surveillance have been trained, fewer than half perform surgical site infection surveillance prospectively, and only 41% indicated they risk adjust surgical site infection data. Widespread variation of surveillance methods highlights future challenges when considering the development and implementation of a national program in Australia.
在澳大利亚缺乏全国性医疗保健相关感染监测项目的情况下，通过在线调查探讨了现有各州项目之间的差异。进行监测的受访者中只有51%接受过培训，不到一半的人前瞻性地开展手术部位感染监测，只有41%的人表示他们对手术部位感染数据进行风险调整。监测方法的广泛差异凸显了在澳大利亚考虑制定和实施全国性项目时未来面临的挑战。
