Non-ventilator health care-associated pneumonia (NV-HAP): Putting it all together
1Manager of Infection Prevention, University of Rochester Highland Hospital, Rochester, NY.
Abstract:
This section highlights the necessary steps to implement a robust plan to connect surveillance and prevention strategies for nonventilator health care-associated pneumonia (NV-HAP) as described in previous sections. In addition to specific NV-HAP strategies, the importance of general infection prevention principles that are common to all settings for prevention of all health care-associated infections are reviewed. The section also provides an overview of a step-wise model to develop a comprehensive NV-HAP surveillance plan. A sample case review form is included.
