Abstract
Manual surveillance of surgical site infections (SSIs) after total hip or knee arthroplasty is time-consuming and prone to error. Semiautomated surveillance based on routine care data extracted from electronic health records can retrospectively identify deep SSIs and substantially reduce workload while maintaining 100% sensitivity.
