3 PPE for Infection Prevention Protecting healthcare personnel and patients from infectious diseases is now more important than ever, as these groups are exposed to infections within healthcare settings daily. Recent studies reveal: Infections contracted in hospitals are the fourth largest killer in America. Every year in this country, two million patients contract infections 1 The annual direct medical cost for hospital acquired infections to US hospitals ranges from $28.4 to $33.8 billion 2 As many as 10% of patients contract infections while visiting a hospital 3 Patients inflicted with MRSA have hospital costs that more than triple the cost of other patients 4 1 Source: Neu HC. The crisis in antibiotic resistance. Science 1992;257: Source: Scott, R. Douglas. The Direct Medical Costs of Healthcare-Associated Infections in U.S. Hospitals and the Benefits of Prevention. Mar CDC. 27 Aug CostPaper.pdf. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, as specialized clothing or equipment, worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials. Infection prevention planning is a core priority to providing the safest care for the patient and the healthcare professional. With proper care and personal protection equipment, the spread of infections by hospital personnel can be greatly reduced. TIDI Products Personal Protection Equipment is the premier solution to providing your healthcare workers with a high level of protection from hazardous materials. P2 provides a selection of quality facemasks, gowns, gloves and storage cabinets that both assist in compliance with OSHA preparedness requirements, and provide a safe work environment for your employees and patients. 3 Eisenstadt E, Carlton BC, Brown BJ.
