Bold New Approaches In Hospital Infection Control
- How two major hospital systems dramatically improved their infection control processes
- New techniques in combining quality control procedures with infection control protocols
- Quick changes to begin seeing results
Hospital-acquired infections are one of healthcare’s biggest burdens. They sicken -- and sometimes kill -- hundreds of thousands of patients in the U.S. every year. Those grim statistics aside, they can take a grievous toll on a hospital’s bottom line, as treatment and prolonged inpatient stays can cost an individual institution thousands of dollars per afflicted patient. However, as individual hospitals and healthcare systems embark on new initiatives to curb their infection rates, new strategies for success are being discovered every day. Register to view the exciting infection control strategies developed by the Piedmont Healthcare system in Atlanta and Upstate University Hospital in New York.
Join this webinar to hear officials from Piedmont Healthcare and Upstate University Hospital discuss:
- Their unique infection control challenges
- How they reverse-engineered their approach to infection control
- Their team-building to improve infection control techniques
- The revision of long-standing policies regarding the use of catheters
