Abstract
[Results] The response rate was 7.8% (80 centers). Of the responding institutions, 90% calculated "long-term care ward hospitalization fee 1, " which applies to hospitalization in wards that accommodate many patients with a high need for healthcare and assistance in daily living. At these institutions, 41.9% of patients were discharged home or to a care facility. Additional reimbursement for infection prevention 1 or 2 was calculated, and infection control teams had been set up at 63.8% of the institutions. For hand hygiene practice, some institutions reported the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer, whereas other institutions did not. The antimicrobial use rate on point prevalence survey days was 9.4%. Of all patients who used antimicrobials, 28.6% had carried MDROs within the past year.
