Manual counting is considered the gold standard for device day recording by the National Health Safety Network. We describe the development of a process for an electronic count of central line days across our ten-hospital health care system. Our validation process identified discordance between the electronic count and the manual count for 71% of patient care units. Adjudication of the count differences by chart review identified the electronic count to be correct 97% of the time. (C) 2019 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
