Los Angeles County Hospital Healthcare-Associated Infections Dashboard

This interactive dashboard allows users to view healthcare-associated infection data reported by general acute care hospitals and long-term acute care hospitals in Los Angeles County. Data can be broken down by time period (quarter, half-year, year), facility type, and infection type. Users can view overall counts and rates, and view data visually. Data exist from 2015 to present. Healthcare facility users may use the dashboard to compare their facility rates to the aggregate county data.

Los Angeles County Targeted Multidrug-Resistant Organism (MDRO) Dashboard

This interactive dashboard contains data on select multidrug-resistant organisms in Los Angeles County residents. The selected organisms reflect those commonly attributed to healthcare-associated infections. Users can view counts by case demographics, organism species and resistance gene, and information about the healthcare facility where the organism was identified. The dashboard is split into two pages each on carbapenemase-producing organisms and Candida auris. Healthcare facility users may use this dashboard to understand the local MDRO epidemiology for risk assessments and other prevention activities. Data exist from 2017 to present.

Los Angeles County Hospital Antibiogram Dashboard

This interactive dashboard displays data reported by acute care hospitals in Los Angeles County on antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria tested in the laboratory. Users may use this dashboard to track specific antibiotic resistance over time and by hospital type. Users may also use this dashboard to compare their facility’s antibiogram to the county aggregate data. Data exist from 2018 to present.

How to use the antibiogram data: The regional antibiogram may be beneficial to various stakeholders. It can be used as a benchmark ¹ for local data to determine if, for example:

• local data contain outliers that may suggest errors within the data (e.g., penicillin resistance in beta-hemolytic streptococci)
• modifications to antimicrobial agents routinely tested in a facility should be considered
• investigations or interventions in infection prevention practices may be needed.
