Surgical Infection Prevention Measures (SIP) This is a measure of how surgical care is managed by hospitals and physicians are constantly looking at new ways to prevent and reduce infections for their patients. While there are multiple practices adopted by hospitals to prevent and reduce infections, there are three measures that have been adopted at the national level by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Hospital Quality Alliance* that relate to the use of antibiotics to reduce surgical infections. These measures are : Giving the Recommended Drug Giving the Drug at the Right Time Stopping the Drug at the Right Time How can patients use this information? What can I do to reduce my chances of developing an infection? SIP Data Reporting Giving the Recommended Drug This measure reflects the percentage of patients receiving the most appropriate antibiotic before surgery. An antibiotic is a medication/drug that kills bacteria that can cause infection. Surgeons should select an antibiotic based on scientific research showing which drug will best reduce the chances of developing a surgical infection. Not all patients will receive an antibiotic before surgery because some operative procedures might not require the use of antibiotics before surgery. Giving the Drug at the Right Time This measure reflects the percentage of patients receiving antibiotics at the right time before the surgical incision. Research has shown that antibiotics are most effective in reducing risk of infection when given as close to the beginning of the surgery as possible, no earlier than 1 hour before the surgical incision. Stopping the Drug at the Right Time This measure reflects the percentage of patients where the drug was discontinued at the right time. Research has shown that antibiotics are only needed for a short time after surgery to reduce the risk of infection. Continuing “preventive” antibiotics for l
