Background

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections worldwide. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention, which included a smart reminder system for prophylactic intraoperative antibiotic re-dosing in the Anesthesia Information Management Systems, modifications to the preoperative application form, and enhanced review of medical orders, on improving prophylactic intraoperative antibiotic re-dosing and reducing SSIs.

Methods

A retrospective study on the epidemiology of healthcare-associated SSIs was conducted to compare outcomes before and after the implementation of the bundled intervention, with a focus on compliance with intraoperative antibiotic re-dosing and the rate of SSIs.
