The patient who contracts an infection in the hospital is someone’s son or daughter, mother or father, and it’s time that healthcare workers attach a name and a face to the issues of infection prevention and control. The speaker will address how various trends in healthcare, including staffing shortages and the temptation to cut corners, contribute to system failures and non-compliance with infection control principles and best practices. It’s a compelling look at how to safeguard your patients and break the chain of infection.
