    "description": "California spends $3.1 billion each year on hospital-acquired infections.[1] This indicator includes incidence of measurable hospital-acquired conditions (per 1,000 discharges).  This data is comprised of a composite patient safety indicator, which includes an average of the observed-to-expected ratios of several other selected indicators of quality.  The available data is limited and there remains opportunity for further development to establish a more definitive measure. At present, this indicator serves as a useful starting point for examining hospital quality. With sustained and system-wide quality improvement efforts in hospitals, safety and quality of care for patients can be enhanced and billions of dollars saved.

The current composite PSI includes the following component indicators: pressure ulcer, iatrogenic pneumothorax, in-hospital fall-associated fracture, postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma, postoperative acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, postoperative respiratory failure, perioperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, postoperative sepsis, postoperative wound dehiscence, abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration.",
