HOSPITAL ACQUIRED-INFECTIONS: ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

E-mail Print
The american web site «important little facts» gives basic information on these hospital-acquired infections that are a growing source of concern for patients and hospitals.

«My goal is to offer a perspective of nosocomial infections though the eyes of an Environmental Services Manager. I want to share things I've seen and studied concerning nosocomial infections; with the consuming public, healthcare leaders, healthcare funders and policy-makers, to create more accountability between these four stakeholders in healthcare. All four parties have responsibilities, which properly fulfilled, will greatly reduce the spread of nosocomial infections in healthcare facilities. Every time we drop the rate of infection just 1%, we will save 1,000 lives, eliminate 20,000 nosocomial illnesses, and save $45 million in medical costs every year. » (Eric Rose)

The site approach is based on a very appropriate question and answer format: what is a nosocomial infection (also called HAI)? How do we get them? How do we get rid of them etc.
