Ensuring that Nothing is Compromised
Healthcare providers always place the patient at the center of their approach to clinical care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement have published vast resources to help improve any healthcare facility’s patient safety program. While most infections can be prevented through basic interventions, when the unfortunate happens and infection is transmitted, it’s critical that healthcare facilities are prepared to transparently communicate with patients and other external stakeholders.
