Implementation of an adaptable semi-automated nonventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (nvHAP) surveillance system in swiss acute care hospitals: a feasibility study
Semi-automated nvHAP surveillance was feasible and sufficiently sensitive regardless of the algorithm. It required effort for setup and manual review. Algorithm adaptability enabled the implementation in hospitals with limited electronically available data or IT resources.
