NHSPI_measure_metadata: 10

Data provided by Big Local News. Data from the National Health Security Preparedness Index. The overall index is useful for examining a state’s readiness in dealing with any number of issues. There also are specific metrics that directly relate to states’ abilities to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, we have pulled out and processed key metrics -- from preparedness for surge testing to evaluating how many people in each state have access to paid time off. Our goal is to make it easier for journalists to access and analyze for their reporting. For more information, please start with the NHSPI_READ_ME file. Questions? Contact biglocalnews@stanford.edu.

The sub-domain includes the ability to successfully expand these systems and processes in response to incidents of health significance.	M289	State health department participates in a broad prevention collaborative addressing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)	Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are diseases acquired by patients while receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. HAIs are significant sources of preventable disease burden, and place communities at elevated risk of large-scale outbreaks and epidemics. State prevention collaboratives consist of multiple hospitals within a state that support implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies through peer learning, performance measurement, and feedback reporting to clinicians and staff. State health department participation in these collaboratives is an indicator of the strength of HAI prevention strategies.	CDC PSR	Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), Prevention Status Reports	2013	The measure does not evaluate the quality, comprehensiveness, or effectiveness of HAI prevention collaboratives.
