CASE Studies
As a result of its work with Masspro, Baystate Medical Center (BMC) has increased its rate of on-time antibiotic administration (60 minutes prior to incision) for its surgical patients by 59%. Using what it learned as a participant in the SIP Collaborative, BMC performed multiple small tests of change to overhaul its perioperative system, including the presentation of baseline data and evidence-based resources to surgical staff, the implementation of standardized administration and documentation processes, and the revision of order sets. Using this model, BMC has also made improvements in other SIP indicators, including appropriate antibiotic selection and the discontinuation of antibiotic therapy within 24 hours.

I know I can speak for Baystate Medical Center when I say that the changes which have taken place in our operating rooms before and after surgery have been a reflection of the impact Masspro has had on improving patient care surrounding surgical infection prevention.
