Name of each California general acute care hospital reporting SSI (excluding superficial) for 28 adult operative procedures in calendar year, 2021.

Specific types of California hospitals are Major Teaching; Pediatric; Community, >250 Beds; Community, 125-250 Beds; Community, <125 Beds; Long-Term Acute Care; Critical Access; Free-Standing Rehabilitation; and Rehabilitation Unit. A major teaching hospital is a hospital that has a teaching program for medical students and a post-graduate medical training program. A pediatric hospital is a hospital with inpatients predominantly age 18 years or younger. A community hospital is a CDPH designation for hospitals not classified as major teaching, long-term acute care (LTAC), critical access, pediatric, or rehabilitation. Community hospitals are further categorized by number of active beds as reported by the hospital in the NHSN Annual Survey. A LTAC hospital is defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as a licensed general acute care hospital providing care for patients with medically complex conditions requiring an average length of stay greater than 25 days. A critical access hospital is designated by CMS as a hospital with 25 or fewer acute care inpatient beds, located more than 35 miles from another hospital (with some exceptions), with an average length of stay of four days or less. A rehabilitation hospital is an acute care facility exclusively providing evaluation and restoration of function for patients who have lost function due to acute or chronic pain, musculoskeletal problems, stroke, or catastrophic events resulting in complete or partial paralysis. A rehabilitation unit is an inpatient ward within a general acute care hospital providing evaluation and restoration of function for patients who have lost function due to acute or chronic pain, musculoskeletal problems, stroke, or catastrophic events resulting in complete or partial paralysis. A rehabilitation unit typically has its own unique CMS certification number (CCN) and reports separately from the rest of the hospital. NHSN does not calculate an SSI SIR for rehabilation hospitals/units and LTAC hospitals and thus these facility types are not included.
