Infection Control Programs Get Executive Attention
HAI’s are something every hospital will face at some point in time. As we all know HAI’s can be very dangerous many times they can lead to a patient death. I found this article interesting because it lists ten steps that hospitals have taken to help with the prevention of HAI’s. One of the ten tips that really stood out to me was the last one listed in the article. The last tip was to use “antibiotic-impregnated central venous catheters to prevent catheter related infections”. This stood out to me because as we have all learned, UTI’s are one of the most common HAI’s.
