Quality Indicators

To guarantee quality in health services, we work in the prevention of nosocomial infections, a safe practice that relies on secure surveillance systems. In 2008, the infection for cardiovascular programs was 2.1%. The death rate in cardiovascular surgery in adults was 5.27% and 6.11% for pediatrics. In the past year, the Heart Institute conducted 418 cardiovascular surgeries in adults and 394 children.
