The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) PublicationsÌý

The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) is a collaborative effort between the Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control (CCDIC) and the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML), and sentinel hospitals across Canada who participate as members of the Canadian Hospital Epidemiology Committee (CÈÕ±¾ÎÞÂë), a standing committee of the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease (AMMI) Canada.Ìý

Established in 1994, the objectives of CNISP are to provide national and regional rates and trends on selected healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistant organisms (AROs), as well as provide key information that informs the development of federal, provincial and territorial infection prevention and control programs and policies. At present, 70 sentinel hospitals from 10 provinces and one territory participate in the CNISP network.Ìý

Below are the definitions and protocols for the healthcare associated infections currently under surveillance by the CNISP.Ìý
