Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Immunization Practices
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection poses a significant public health concern in the US, with thousands of new cases annually.
  • National guidelines recommend timely hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine administration for newborns.
  • The study aimed to improve HepB vaccination rates in newborns before hospital discharge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To increase institutional hepatitis B (HepB) vaccination rates for newborns from a baseline of 52% to over 85% before hospital discharge.
  • To enhance the timely administration of the HepB vaccine birth dose.
  • To implement a sustainable quality improvement initiative for newborn vaccination.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary quality improvement project was implemented in February 2017.
  • Key interventions included standardizing vaccine offering processes, parent education, and healthcare provider training.
  • Statistical process control P-charts were used to analyze vaccination rates.

Main Results:

  • The study included 21,108 newborns between July 2015 and April 2019.
  • HepB vaccination rates at hospital discharge increased from a baseline of 52.4% to 72.5%.
  • Rates of HepB vaccination within 12 hours of life improved from 21.5% to 42.5%.

Conclusions:

  • Multidisciplinary collaboration and targeted interventions significantly improved HepB vaccination rates.
  • Provider and staff education on HBV risks, vaccine benefits, and communication strategies were crucial.
  • Further efforts are recommended to achieve HepB vaccination within 12 hours of birth.
