When implementing the latest innovations to reduce health care-associated infections, it is important not to overlook basic infection prevention principles such as hand hygiene, isolation precautions, use of personal protective equipment, and cleaning and low-level disinfection. Like many facilities, we implemented a multifaceted approach to reduce hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile infections. In this paper, we share simple tools that we found helpful in improving infection prevention practices by addressing knowledge gaps among staff, visitors, and patients.
在实施最新的减少医源性感染创新措施时,重要的是不要忽视基本的感染预防原则,如手卫生、隔离预防措施、使用个人防护设备以及清洁和低水平消毒。与许多医疗机构一样,我们采取了多方面的方法来降低医院获得性艰难梭菌感染率。在本文中,我们将分享一些简单的工具,这些工具通过解决员工、访客和患者的知识差距,有助于改善感染预防措施。
