Fax: +353 1 856 1299 2017 ECDC PPS of HAI & AMU: IRELAND NATIONAL REPORT P a g e | iv Executive Summary This report presents the findings of the second point prevalence survey (PPS) of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and antimicrobial use (AMU) conducted in Ireland and the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) using a common protocol.1, The first PPS was performed in 50 Irish hospitals in May 2012 and repeated in 60 hospitals in May 2017.2,3 The number of patients included, along with the national HAI and AMU prevalence increased between the two surveys. For 49 hospitals that have participated in both PPS to date, increases in median patient age, the proportion of patients aged ≥65 years and the prevalence of vascular catheter use were observed. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has estimated that on any given day, there are 670 inpatients in Irish hospitals with a HAI, translating to almost 30,000 patients in Ireland affected by HAI annually.4 Hospital & Eligible Patient Characteristics . In May 2017, 60 acute Irish hospitals (46 public and 14 private) participated in the voluntary European ECDC PPS of HAI and AMU. The breakdown of participating hospitals by type included: primary (n=9), secondary (n=17), tertiary (n=7), specialist public (n=13), specialist private (n=1) and private (n=13) . The average number of acute beds in the 46 public hospitals ranged from 72 to 588, depending on the hospital type. The average proportion of single patient rooms was lowest in public primary (15%), secondary (20%), specialist (23%) and tertiary (29%) hospitals and was highest in private hospitals (52%) . All hospitals reported having an infection prevention and control nurse (IPCN), 17 reported having no infection prevention and control doctor (IPCD) and 17 reported having no antimicrobial pharmacist (AMP) . The resource of whole time equivalent (WTE) IPCN per 100 beds was similar for both public (0.8) and private hospitals (0.9). Private hospitals reported 0.24 IPCD per 100 beds, higher than that of public hospitals (0.17). Public hospitals reported 0.26 AMP per 100 beds, higher than that of private hospitals (0.14) .

These are: - Patient Safety Surveillance - Patient Safety Advocacy and Policy - Clinical Effectiveness This report now forms part of the patient safety surveillance work stream of the NPSO. This surveillance system is under development and is likely to include, although not be limited to, elements on clinical activity, healthcare acquired conditions, clinical outcomes, complaints trends, and information from a number of other sources.
