Public Reporting

At the Brant Community Healthcare System, we are always analysing how we are performing. To accomplish this we use different performance indicators to get a sense of where we excel and where improvements can be made. This process is vital to our commitment to the community and for providing quality and safe care for patients.

The indicators relate to:

 C. difficile

C. difficile can be found in the bowels of many people without causing disease. Life-saving antibiotics can make C. difficile suddenly become aggressive and cause severe diarrhea.

 MRSA Rates

Staphylococcus aureus are bacteria that normally live on the skin and mucous membranes (nose) without causing infection. MRSA is not a disease but a type of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that are not eliminated by simple antibiotics. If these bacteria get into your bloodstream then this would be called a bacteremia or a bloodstream infection.

 VRE Rates

Enterococci are bacteria that normally live in the bowel without causing disease. VRE is not a disease but a type of Enterococcal bacteria that are not eliminated by simple antibiotics. If these bacteria get into your bloodstream then this would be called a bacteremia or a bloodstream infection. Bacteria should never be found in your bloodstream.

 Surgical Safety Compliance

The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSCL) is considered “performed” when the designated checklist coordinator confirms that surgical team members have implemented and/or addressed all of the necessary tasks and items.

This checklist indicates if the OR team paused to verify and reach consensus on patient identity surgical procedure and operative site/side.

 Hand Hygiene Compliance
Patient safety remains the most important priority for the Brant Community Healthcare System and this involves ensuring that patients are not at risk for contracting healthcare-associated infections.

 

We have a number of practices in place to help prevent and control infections, including a comprehensive hand hygiene program. All Ontario hospitals are required to annually post their hand hygiene compliance rates to further promote accountability and transparency within the health system.
