5 Page 005 Infection Control Back to Basics It is important to get back to basics in infection control1 Education & training is imperative to learn each person s role in preventing infections What practices & constant reminders do you use to remind staff during patient care encounters? Basic hand hygiene is one of the most important ways to prevent infections CMS announces unannounced surveys to evaluate infection control standards in file:///x /instruct/ngd1572/slide005.htm [11/16/2011 3:59:29 PM]
6 Page 006 Infection Control CDC says there are 2 million healthcare infection (HAI) in America every year There are 100,000 deaths in American hospitals every year Leadership need to make sure there is adequate staffing & resources to prevent & manage infections Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are one of the top ten leading causes of death in the US1 1 file:///x /instruct/ngd1572/slide006.htm [11/16/2011 3:59:30 PM]
