Hospital Comparison for MRSA Bloodstream Infections in California Hospitals in 2015
Source: California Department of Public Health (CSV). This dataset includes the number of MRSA bloodstream infections reported by each California hospital in 2015, hospital details like the facility name and county, and comparisons to the national baseline. Dates: 2015-01-01 to 2015-12-31
- A majority of hospitals (19 out of 24) reported 'No Difference' in MRSA bloodstream infection rates when compared to the national baseline.
- A minority of hospitals (3 out of 24) performed better ('Lower') than the national baseline for MRSA BSI rates.
- A smaller number of hospitals (2 out of 24) had higher MRSA BSI rates than the national baseline ('Higher').
- These findings could signify a state-wide consistency in infection prevention measures or may reflect reporting standards across California.
- The use of the 'Comparison' category provides a generalized perspective, rather than precise statistical measures of hospital performance.
