Publisher's Synopsis
Hospital acquired infections are a major cause of death and morbidity among hospital patients. It is well documented that lapses in infection control have enormous potential cost to the hospital (each additional infection costing between £200 and £3000 per patient). Education in infection control policies for all hospital staff and easy access to local policies are now widely recognized as crucial to the successful implementation of policies.
This CD-ROM, when installed on the hospital network, allows easy access to policies, which are presented in generic form and can be easily updated/amended by the local infection control doctor. It also provides a learning module to educate hospital staff in infection control procedures.
The information is attractivelypresented and is easy to navigate, allowing swift access to the most up-to-date information on infections and policies. Every doctor and nurse in the hospital has access to a computer, making this the most effective way of providing such crucial information.
