Hi there,
Please can someone tell me if there are any Australian national
infection prevention and control surveillance definitions for healthcare
associated blood stream infections? I am aware of the ACSQHC CLABSI and
SAB surveillance guides but I was wondering if there are any national
ones for all HABSI used in Australia. The only ones I can find are the
AICA ones from a number of years ago.I am interested in this because in our New Zealand facility we
previously used these AICA definitions in the past and need to update
now.Cheers
Ruth

ACHS (The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards) do have a HABSI definition which we use to collect surveillance on hospital wide bacteraemi. If you are unable to access these please email and I will send electronically.

Hi Ruth,
Have a look at the VICNISS website, I believe SAB data is collected nationally therefore national definitions.

THe original AICA-NAB definitions have not been updated- they were available previously on the old aica site.
THey did serve as the basis of the national SAB definitions – there are only v cosmetic changes in fact
ACHS I think has recently completed a review of their inf control indicators; perhaps someone can give us an update as to the outcome
