Taking your post-discharge SSI surveillance digital

Taking your post-discharge SSI surveillance digital

Most surgical site infections (SSIs) occur after patients have left hospital care, yet current national surveillance systems often miss these critical post-discharge infections.

This paper explores how patient-reported, post-discharge surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance can close critical data gaps in infection monitoring. It shows how timely, digital feedback from patients helps hospitals identify infections earlier, reduce complications, and improve safety outcomes beyond hospital walls.

What you’ll learn

  • How patient-reported data enables earlier detection, better outcomes, and proactive care.
  • The importance of real-time digital surveillance in modern infection prevention.
  • Practical steps for implementing PR-PDS approach to strengthen patient safety.
