Infection Prevention & Control

Setting standards in HAI prevention

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a threat to patient safety. They can affect patients in all healthcare settings, negatively impacting morbidity and mortality and the costs of care.[1-3] No one should catch an avoidable infection while receiving or giving health care.

Life in our hands: Hand hygiene

Hands have been proven to be a major carrier of infectious organisms. A structured approach to hand hygiene is crucial for preventing infections and can make a difference.

Antibacterial whole-body wash

We recommend that an antibacterial whole-body wash be performed on all patients as a universal decolonization before their elective hospitalization and surgery. This is intended to reduce the burden of colonization with microbials.
