We clear patients when they have had 3 consecutive negative rectal swabs taken at least one week apart.

Additionally, Canada has a comprehensive web site for reporting communicable diseases activity. Is NSW planning something similar?

Hello again Ingrid,

Forgive my second post, but I’ve just come across the best example of accessible public reporting that I’ve ever seen anywhere (suggest start with hospital reports / maps). What’s more, they’ve routinely included one of the most controversial indicators of performance routinely (the health standardised mortality rate). It’s well worth a look and I think it’s a worthy aspirational goal for all of us.

Are there any healthcare facilities publicly reporting infection rates? If so, how are you reporting this information? Is anyone using the internet for this purpose?
