Title: Title Infection Control in Health Settings – Looking Behind the Scenes
Background: Infection control in Health Settings focuses on potential pathogens that can lead to adverse health consequences for both patients and staff and yet despite our best efforts, mitigation of occurrences has not declined. As technology advances with use of additional equipment and potential emergence of pathogen resistance, how can we improve health outcomes and prevent infection from becoming the norm rather than the exception. We will look “behind the scenes” as to how to use evidence-based practice resources to enable a better therapeutic response. Focus on potential risks that are often hidden in plain sight in the clinical environment and finally consider methods/practices that can be easily implemented.
