SIP Quality Measures/Rates

The SIP project has only 3 measures, and all related to antibiotic prophylaxis.

 

These measures include:

1. Antibiotics administered within 1 hour prior to surgical incision (except vancomycin which is 2 hours).

2. Prophylactic antibiotic selection is consistent with current recommendations.

3. Antibiotics are discontinued within 24 hours from surgery end time.
