Ms. Cindy Garcia presented the Surgical Hand Scrub Protocol, poster, and staff education to the Committee members.

No date for distribution of the educational

2 module has been determined; this date will depend on the approval by the Hospital Quality Council and the Institutional Critical Care Committee. A discussion ensued regarding the extent of the scope of the Hand Scrub Protocol. Ms. Feistritzer indicated the Protocol probably needs to apply to the entire organization, to include 100 Oaks, the Clinics, ICU, etc. Donna Nolan, MCVCH representative, stated the MCVCH does not use Avagard for their hand scrub and asked does MCVCH need to switch to the Avagard product. Infection Control Practitioners indicated that MCVCH should send their hand scrub product to Infection Control Department for further investigation of the current product being used. Dr. Stokes stated that Radiology is currently using the Avagard product. A discussion then ensued regarding the cost of Avagard, with conclusion in the section below. There was a discussion around what would trigger the use of the Hand Scrub Protocol. Ms. Feistritzer stated that the trigger could be a sterile procedure, but no final trigger was determined. Ms. Kuntz discussed the education plan and asked who is the target audience for the Sterile Procedure Surgical Hand Scrub Protocol, is the audience greater than Perioperative Services? Ms. Feistritzer stated that the Hand Scrub Protocol should probably be implemented house wide and that this will be discussed at the Hospital Quality Council meeting and she would provide feedback on the Hospital Quality Council input.

No further actions required. 3 mins Tom Talbot b. Infection Control Database Update 1) Infection Control Data for Pods Update- When Will Data be Available? Ms. Randa asked when infection control data would be available for the Pods. Ms. Brinsko stated that Brian Nelsen is working toward a feed from VPIMS that would allow Infection Control to integrate the VPIMS data with the Infection Control for a more robust data set that would feed into the dashboard of indicators. Mr. Nelsen, who just entered the meeting, stated we do have a VPIMS feed it is clucky, but it works. Ms. Feistritzer asked could the infection control data be obtained at a service line level. Mr. Nelsen asked for a definition of service line level and Ms. Feistritzer stated as an example, Cardiac Surgery, as far as infection rates could Cardiac see what their rates are?? Mr. Nelsen stated yes, those rates would be reflected in SS1 indicator on the In-Site Dashboard. We started the work to understand how to breakdown the data to reflect the Pod paradigm, but we have questions about that, but I think we will be able to do that. There was a question if Children s could also have such data reports and Mr. Nelsen stated, I do not see why not There was a question as to if the Pods could retrieve these data reports now and Mr. Nelsen stated that the Pods need to be defined first before the report can be produced. There was another question regarding Children s gaining access to reports because they are not a Pod. Ms. Randa stated if we could just have the reports by service line, which would include Children s Hospital, we could then ensure the Pods and Children s receive their reports. There was also a question regarding the Cath Lab and EP Lab having access to infection control reports. Mr. Nelsen states that these two areas are not in the infection control data 3

4 sets yet. 1. Ms. Leming-Lee will send the Pod structure that includes the service lines within the Pods to Brian Nelsen 2. Mr. Nelson will then group the infection control data according to the Pods and provide an example of the report at the February SSPIC Meeting. 2) Centralized Website for Information Sharing-Each Pod Needs to send Representative to IC for Training-Date of Training? There was discussion about how to access infection control reports once they are available and Ms. Randa asked would you go to a website or is there link that would take you to the reports? Mr. Nelsen stated that The agenda item is pending. IC Training will be discussed at the February 2009 SSIPC Meeting when more information regarding IC training is available. 3) VPIMS Feed to I-Cart to CDC Database Update See item b-1 above. The VPIMS Feed to I-Cart to CDC Database is now complete. See Action/Conclusion b-1 above. 4) Benchmarks Added to Database Update There was not discussion regarding this agenda item. Pending further work by Infection Control. 2 mins Stephanie Randa, Dr. May, Brian Nelsen, and VPIMS Programmers c.
