Surveillance Nationale des Septicemies nosocomiales (Hospitalwide)

Aims

Objectives

 

The national surveillance of hospital infections has as main objective the reduction of the incidence of nosocomial infections in Belgian acute hospitals.

The National programme for the Surveillance of Hospital Infections (NSIH) complies with the following aims:

  • Offer the necessary case definitions and conditions to the participating hospitals for standardised data collection and analysis.
  • Allow participating hospitals to follow up their results in time and define their position towards other participating hospitals.
  • Obtain a global image of the national epidemiological situation on hospital infections and – on the long run – the evolution in time.
