Tomah Health is one of 10 hospitals in Wisconsin and 532 in the United States with a catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate of zero, based on the healthcare-associated infections dataset from CMS.
The list was compiled by Becker’s Hospital Review, an industry leading print publication.
The Healthcare Associated Infections-Hospital database uses measures — developed by the CDC and collected through the National Healthcare Safety Network — that show how often patients contract certain infections during the course of medical treatment. Data was collected from October 2024 to September 2025 and was last updated Aug. 13.
The CDC calculates a standardized infection ratio, which may take into account care location, number of patients with an existing infection, lab methods, hospital affiliation with a medical school, hospital bed size, patient age and patient health. The measures apply to all patients treated in acute care hospitals, including adult, pediatric, neonatal, Medicare and non-Medicare patients, according to the CMS data dictionary.
