SaNuRN is a five-year project by the University of Rouen Normandy (URN) and the Côte d’Azur University (CAU) consortium to optimize digital health education for medical and paramedical students, professionals, and administrators. The project includes a skills framework, training modules, and teaching resources. In 2027, SaNuRN is expected to train a significant portion of the 400,000 health and paramedical professions students at the French national level.

Article Synopsis
  • Intravascular catheters are vital in medicine but increase the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), prompting a review of automated algorithms for detecting catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI).
  • A systematic literature search from 2000 to 2021 led to 9 studies being included that evaluated the performance of these algorithms, focusing mainly on CLABSI detection and utilizing various types of data.
  • The findings highlighted a lack of uniformity among the automated systems, with diverse definitions and methodologies, suggesting the need for more standardized approaches to improve infection surveillance in healthcare settings.

Many circumstances necessitate judgments regarding causation in health information systems, but these can be tricky in medicine and epidemiology. In this article, we reflect on what the ICD-11 Reference Guide provides on coding for causation and judging when relationships between clinical concepts are causal. Based on the use of different types of codes and the development of a new mechanism for coding potential causal relationships, the ICD-11 provides an in-depth transformation of coding expectations as compared to ICD-10.

Background: Intravascular catheter infections are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, a significant proportion of these infections are preventable. Evaluations of the performance of automated surveillance systems for adequate monitoring of central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) or catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) are limited.

Purpose: In-hospital health-related adverse events (HAEs) are a major concern for hospitals worldwide. In high-income countries, approximately 1 in 10 patients experience HAEs associated with their hospital stay. Estimating the risk of an HAE at the individual patient level as accurately as possible is one of the first steps towards improving patient outcomes.
