Abstract

A multidisciplinary team collaborated to develop and validate a process to electronically capture patient and device denominator data at 6 hospitals in the same healthcare system. Validation was completed within 4-16 months. Manual count errors were identified as the main driver of electronic versus manual discrepancies.
