At least 12 Indiana Hospitals Report Having No Central Line Infections

In early February 2012, CMS made hospital central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) data available on its HospitalCompare website.

Of the 125 Indiana hospitals listed in HospitalCompare, 88 were eligible for CLABSI reporting. For various reasons (small n, no ICU in hospital, etc...), no rating was provided for 65 hospitals. Of the remaining 22 hospitals, 12 reported no infections.

The 12 Indiana hospitals are:

Hospital	City
ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL	ELKHART
WILLIAM N WISHARD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL	INDIANAPOLIS
FRANCISCAN ST FRANCIS HEALTH - BEECH GROVE	BEECH GROVE
PORTER VALPARAISO HOSPITAL	VALPARAISO

REID HOSPITAL & HEALTH CARE SERVICES	RICHMOND
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL EAST	INDIANAPOLIS
DEACONESS HOSPITAL INC	EVANSVILLE
INDIANA UNIVERSITY HEALTH BALL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL	MUNCIE
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL	MUNSTER
ST VINCENT HEART CENTER OF INDIANA LLC	INDIANAPOLIS

CMS published this data based on 1Q2011 only. This measure is based on the CDC's NHSN data collection protocol.
