3 A Case: Surgical Site Infections You’re the Chair of the Department of Surgery Quality Committee at your medical center, and you receive a call from your Chief Medical Officer regarding a report that your state just released about SSI rates at medical centers across the state. It’s not good news. Your medical center had the highest rate of SSIs in the state.

4 Using evidence to define the problem Does it warrant attention? Is it a misperception? Local evidence Anecdote vs. data Compare over time, across units, across institutions Structure, process, outcome Peer-reviewed evidence National estimates Compare local practices to national recommendations Published QI initiatives Mitchell MD, et al.
