This Excel spreadsheet is designed to aid improvement teams in tracking compliance with implementing the interventions recommended in IHI's How-to Guide: Prevent Surgical Site Infection for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

The spreadsheet enables teams to enter and track data for key process measures for the recommended interventions. The template generates automatic run charts and allows teams to add data for optional measures they may be tracking at their facility.
