that have higher rates of nosocomial, or more specifically, of resistant infection. In this case, we also
need to identify which patients are entering the hospital with the infection, and which patients acquired
it while there. We extend the work given in Chapter 8 that discussed the relationship between MRSA,
patient diagnoses, and patient procedures. This, too, will allow us to investigate the possible occurrence
of gaming in the reported data. Patients, for example, with an initial diagnosis of “insect bite” are more
likely to have acquired the infection in the community rather than in the hospital, as are patients with
osteomyelitis and diabetic foot ulcers. However, patients undergoing orthopedic procedures who also
have resistant infection undoubtedly received it while in the hospital. While it would be helpful to know
how well the hospital follows infection control protocols, such information will not always be available.
However, high infection rates for resistant infection might warrant an examination of infection control
procedures.
Unfortunately, studies that have considered the reliability of reporting nosocomial infection indicate
