Evaluation of an algorithm for electronic surveillance of hospital-acquired infections yielding serial weekly point prevalence scores

Surveillance of hospital-acquired infections can be approximated by repeated surveys that are performed in a standardized, cost-effective manner. We developed an integrated software system for serial electronic hospital-wide point prevalence surveys using algorithms that proved highly sensitive and specific over a 5-year period in a large university medical center.
