OP-KISS
After surgery. Understand the case.
Postoperative surgical site infections need a clear connection to the procedure. The OP area guides you through the case information and criteria.
In the Hyga SI app
- Record the procedure and timeline
- Review criteria alongside their reference
02 / 06Case review
ITS-KISS
In intensive care. Make the distinctions.
Bloodstream, respiratory and urinary tract infections have distinct review paths. In Hyga SI, choose the relevant case area and work with its specific information.
In the Hyga SI app
- Choose the relevant infection area
- Bring timeline and device information together
03 / 06Cases & monthly metrics
STATIONS-KISS
Individual cases. The ward perspective.
Case attribution on general wards and monthly analysis complement each other. The reviewed infection type, ward stay and device context belong with the case; patient and device days belong with the analysis.
In the Hyga SI app
- Attribute an infection type already reviewed
- Record monthly cases and denominators
04 / 06Consumption, observation & equipment
HAND-KISS
Hand hygiene. From several perspectives.
Consumption, observed compliance and dispenser provision describe different aspects of hand hygiene. Hyga SI keeps these perspectives distinct when recording them.
In the Hyga SI app
- Record consumption for a ward or functional area
- Capture observations and dispenser provision
05 / 06Cases & annual metrics
MRSA-KISS
Understand the finding. Follow the timeline.
Case attribution and annual metrics answer different questions. Admission, findings and carrier status give an individual case its context; cases and patient days give context to the annual view.
In the Hyga SI app
- Record admission, screening and findings
- Bring annual cases and patient days together
06 / 06Cases & annual metrics
CDI-KISS
Review the case. Consider the course.
For Clostridioides difficile, the case definition, symptom onset and earlier episodes belong with the assessment. The annual area brings together the related case and patient counts.
In the Hyga SI app
- Review case information and its timeline
- Record case counts for the calendar year
Connected work. Different answers.
The case. The metric. And their foundation.

What does the number refer to?
Every metric needs its period and denominator. Consumption, observed compliance and infection rates each answer their own questions.
