To estimate the magnitude of nosocomial infections and enhance the utility and efficiency of the existed national nosocomial infection surveillance system, Taiwan CDC had revised the system and renamed it 'Taiwan Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (TNIS) System' in 2007. Each participating institutions may collect and enter the demographic data of nosocomial in fected cases and patient-specific cultures and antimicrobial susceptibility results. This system provides individual hospitals to analyze their data locally as a reference in developing quality improvement initiatives, Furthermore, the antimicrobial susceptibility results of selected pathogen and multi-drug resistant pathogens are also included in routine monitoring programs. |
