The Center for Disease Control launched a nationwide study to assess infection control strategies in 1974 as nosocomial infections started to become a severe issue in US hospitals. The Study on the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control, or SENIC Initiative, is a three-phased project that was created with three main goals in mind: To ascertain whether (and if so, to what extent) the adoption of infection surveillance and control programs (ISCPs) has reduced the rate of nosocomial infection, To describe the current status of ISCPs and infection rates, and To illustrate the relationships between characteristics of hospitals and patients, components of ISCPs, and changes in the infection rate. Following the completion of data collection in a nationally representative sample of hospitals, analysis is being conducted to pinpoint infection control strategies that are most successful while costing hospitals the least amount of money, as well as to identify additional specific questions that need to be addressed by future research.
