Abstract: Objective To understand the infection of joint replacement operation by information technology.Methods From January 2012 to January 2014, information of patients received joint replacement surgery was monitored in real time by the management of nosocomial infection monitoring software. Appropriate measures were adopted based on bedside examination through infection case warning system. At the same time, the relevant data was automatically analyzed and the results were transmitted to surgeon by software exchange platform. Results In total of 639 patients received joint replacement surgery were monitored. There were 21 patients with surgical site infection and the infection rate was 2.43%. Surgical infection incidence rates of NNIS0-NNIS3 were 1.12%, 6.21%, 15.8% and 27.3% respectively; infection rate of surgical site was 2.15% to 4.03%; and the adjusted infection rate of surgical site was 3.25% to 5.10%.Conclusion Objective monitoring method of surgical site infection through information technology can improve the management efficiency of hospital infection significantly.
