Any one know why these numbers are not available in the first place? Hospital acquired infections can not be "stopped" any more than community acquired infections. They are going to happen. They can be minimized, and great lengths are taken to do this, but they simply can not be stopped. >> http://cu.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=SHI_petitionyourhospital >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > thanks.

Indeed. Every hospital I have worked at or been affiliated at has a task force (of experts in the field) designated to do just this. In fact, my current hospital's epidemiology task force just contacted my clinic and are forcing a change in the cleaning method of our biopsy guns, effective immediately. I don't think it makes a difference, but apparently they think it may so it's now an official change. Infections acquired in a hospital are tough to deal with for the treating physicians, can be dangerous for the patients, and are costly for the hospital. Huge efforts are made to minimize such problems, but alas, we'll never see the end of infections as that would be simply impossible. |
