PICNet  >  Surveillance

PICNet, in collaboration with six BC health authorities, conducts provincial surveillance of three healthcare-associated infections: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), Carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO), and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We also produce provincial reports on hand cleaning compliance (HCC). Reports are published quarterly; links to the latest version of each report are provided in the table below. You can read more about each type of healthcare-associated infection via the links below:
