A low value is a positive sign. **CLABSI – Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)** ### CLABSI – Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) CLABSI is a serious infection that occurs when germs enter the bloodstream through a central IV line. A low value is a positive sign. **CAUTI – Inpatient Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)** ### CAUTI – Inpatient Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) This is an infection caused in patients with a urinary catheter. Bacteria or yeast can travel along the catheter and cause bladder and kidney infections. Sutter Health strives to reduce the use of urinary catheters to prevent infections from occurring. **C.diff – Clostridium difficile (C.diff) Infections** ### C.diff – Clostridium difficile (C.diff) Infections This is a serious infection caused by the germ, Clostridium difficile, estimated to cause almost half a million infections in the United States. Sutter Health has implemented the CDC guidelines and tools to prevent C. difficile infections. **NTSV – Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex (NTSV) cesarean birth rate** ### NTSV – Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex (NTSV) cesarean birth rate The percentage of cesarean (surgical) births among first time mothers who are at least 37 weeks pregnant with one baby in the head down position (not breach or transverse). Lower values indicate that fewer cesareans were performed in the hospital among primarily low risk, first time mothers. **Sepsis – Sepsis mortality rate** ### Sepsis – Sepsis mortality rate The percentage of patients with a severe infection who die in the hospital. Most sepsis cases (over 90%) start outside the hospital. Sutter Health has implemented a Sepsis Protocol to reduce the incidence of sepsis mortality. **MRSA - Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus** ### MRSA - Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus MRSA is an infection with a type of Staphylococcus aureus (staph) germ that can be resistant to several antibiotics. **0.00** ### 0.00 No cases occurred in the reporting period. **N/A** ### N/A Not applicable to this hospital, or rate/ratio too low to be calculated in this reporting period. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"MedicalOrganization","name":"Sutter Health","@id":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/#medicalorganization","url":"https://www.sutterhealth.org","logo":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/static/images/sutter-health-logo.svg","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"2200 River Plaza Drive","addressLocality":"Sacramento","addressRegion":"CA","postalCode":"95833","addressCountry":"US"},"areaServed":{"@type":"AdministrativeArea","name":"California"},"sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/SutterHealth","https://www.instagram.com/sutterhealth/","https://x.com/SutterHealth","https://www.youtube.com/sutterhealth","https://www.linkedin.com/company/sutter-health","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutter_Health"]} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","name":"Hospital Quality Dashboard for Sutter Health","description":"Sutter Health is committed to accurately and transparently sharing quality data with consumers.
