2.15.2017 Standardized Healthcare-Associated Infection Ratio In Table HAI-1/2/3, the four columns labeled “Percentage of Total Discharges From ...”. are collected in IDSS using 4 digits after the decimal. Because the columns are percentages, how should the data for these columns be displayed? For example, using HAI-1: Central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI), if there are 100 contracted hospitals, of which 10 belong to “high” category of Standard Infection Ratio, what should the reported value be?
A) 0.1000
B) 10.0000

Option A. Organizations should report results as a decimal; therefore, option A is correct when reporting in IDSS. IDSS will include a validation that checks for values to be reported between 0 and 1 and must be rounded to 4 decimal places.
