Background: Public reports of successful quality improvement efforts are useful, but seldom available. We present 5 successful efforts to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) with the use of prospectively collected surveillance data.
Methods: Before-and-after intervention studies were conducted in 5 acute care public hospitals in the national surveillance network for SSI in The Netherlands from 1992 to 2000.
