Rate: Number of cases divided by number of patient days multiplied by 1000. For example, one case found and 3000 patient days in month would give a rate of 1/3000 x 1000 or 0.33.
Case Count: if count is zero, it will be reported as “0”. If the case count is 1 – 4, it will be reported as <5. Counts of 5 or more will indicate the actual count. This is standardized reporting for all hospitals in the province.
