National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System Reports
Compare your facility's SSI rates to the most current NNIS System data. Developed in the early 1970s to monitor the incidence of healthcare-associated (nosocomial) infections (HAIs) and their associated risk factors and pathogens. The only national system for tracking HAIs, NNIS is a cooperative, non-financial relationship between hospitals and CDC. This voluntary reporting system has grown from about 60 hospitals at inception to approximately 300 today.
