Define Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) and understand their classification (superficial, deep, and organ/space). Understand the importance of SSI surveillance in improving patient outcomes and enhancing infection prevention strategies. Describe the criteria used to identify SSIs, based on standardized definitions (e.g., CDC/NHSN guidelines). Recognize risk factors and common pathogens associated with SSIs. Explain the steps of the surveillance process, including case finding, data collection, analysis, and reporting. Use standardized tools and forms for accurate and consistent SSI data recording and tracking.
