Product methodology
Hospital-Acquired Infection Live Map
Source contract, normalization path, entity-graph join, refresh posture, and publication limits for this Branmoor product.
Status
In service. This product has a functional preview or paid engagement surface in the current site. The full licensed product may still include private exports, alerts, APIs, or buyer-specific diligence that are not exposed publicly.
Distribution Scope
Nationwide; TN HAI map; Nashville hospital HAI comparison
Product Question
Maps facility HAI performance and safety trajectories.
Primary Sources
- CMS Hospital Compare HAI data — C. diff, CLABSI, CAUTI, MRSA, SSI rates
- CDC NHSN (partially public) — Hospital-level reporting where available
- State health department outbreak postings — Active outbreaks (varies by state)
- CMS survey deficiency database — Infection-control deficiency findings
Entity-Graph Join
`ccn`, infection measure IDs, county/market, owner `irs_ein`.
Publication Rule
Branmoor does not treat raw public records as the product. A surface is publishable only when the source record is dated, normalized, source-linked, and joined to the relevant Branmoor entity identifiers with enough confidence to state the limits of the result.
Current Methodology Note
Rates are reported with CMS-provided risk adjustment where applicable. State-level outbreak coverage is uneven and disclosed; the methodology page lists per-state coverage status.
Limits
Coverage follows the underlying source. Missing state portals, gated APIs, PDF-only filings, suppressed fields, lagged agency refreshes, and entity-name ambiguity can all limit product completeness. Pending products are not marketed as live until those limits are documented on the product surface.
