General acute care hospitals across California no longer need to record that they have followed the CLIP checklist for each patient with a central line inserted. Outcome reporting by hospitals on central line-associated bloodstream infections will continue.
The California Hospital Association proposed to the CDPH Healthcare Associated Infections Advisory Committee the discontinuation of this measure. In December 2020, the HAI Committee made such a recommendation, determining that the elements included in CLIP have become the standard of care, and the time and resources required to report CLIP data into NHSN can be redirected to other activities. CDPH then adopted that recommendation.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
