Healthcare Associated Infections Data Dashboards

Accessibility Disclaimer

These Tableau dashboards have been designed with accessibility in mind. However, some interactive features may have keyboard or screen reader limitations, including tooltips or hover-only interactions; complex or high-density visualizations; or, certain server-rendered or platform-specific Tableau features. Text objects and individual marks may not be fully keyboard-accessible, and some functionality may differ from mouse interaction. Where full keyboard support is not available, accessible alternatives are provided, such as View Data, summary text, or CSV downloads, to ensure all users can access the underlying information.

Infection Prevention, Reporting Transparency, Quality Improvement

The Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program provides interactive dashboards to support infection prevention, reporting transparency, and quality improvement efforts statewide. These dashboards display selected HAI and related data reported by healthcare facilities to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), enabling comparison across facilities and alignment with public health goals.

Dashboards help healthcare professionals, facility leadership, policymakers, researchers, and members of the public better understand and act on key performance indicators for infection prevention and control.

HAI/Antimicrobial Resistance (HAI/AR) Dashboard

The HAI/AR Dashboard provides an annual overview of how individual healthcare facilities in Tennessee compare to national standards for selected healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance indicators.

This dashboard may be used to:

• Compare facility performance to national benchmarks
• Review trends in HAI and antimicrobial resistance
• Support infection prevention and quality improvement planning
• Increase transparency in healthcare performance reporting

Data are based on facility submissions to NHSN and are typically updated annually in late November.

Healthcare Personnel Influenza Vaccination Dashboard

The Healthcare Personnel (HCP) Influenza Vaccination Dashboard displays facility-level influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare personnel in Tennessee acute care hospitals.

Healthcare personnel are at increased risk of contracting and transmitting influenza. Annual influenza vaccination is recommended to protect healthcare staff, patients, and communities.

This dashboard compares facility vaccination rates to the Healthy People target of 90 percent coverage.

Facilities are categorized as:

• Met – Vaccination coverage is 90 percent or higher
• Not Met – Vaccination coverage is below 90 percent

Data reflect the most recent available reporting period submitted through NHSN.

Candida auris Dashboard

The Candida auris Dashboard provides statewide surveillance data on Candida auris (C. auris), an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen that spreads in healthcare settings.

This dashboard displays:

• Combined clinical and screening C. auris case counts
• Regional distribution of cases across Tennessee
• Recent surveillance year trends

Monitoring C. auris supports infection prevention planning, containment strategies, and antimicrobial resistance response efforts.
