Description:

The National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System is a cooperative effort that began in 1970 between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and participating hospitals to create a national nosocomial infections database. The database is used to describe the epidemiology of nosocomial infections, describe antimicrobial resistance trends, and produce nosocomial infection rates to use for comparison purposes.
