Asepsis01:28

Asepsis

2.1K
The condition of being free from disease-causing living pathogens is asepsis. Aseptic techniques include a set of standard practices to achieve asepsis. An example is the regular environmental cleaning of all parts of the healthcare facility and hand hygiene at home before preparing or eating food. Medical and surgical asepsis in healthcare practice protects patients from harmful pathogens, minimizes the risk of contamination of susceptible sites, and reduces the risk of infection transmission.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
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...

Standard Precaution

1.9K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

4.1K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection01:30

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection

6.7K
Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease.
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

3.2K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.
Hand washing...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Clinical Informatics
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Sepsis is a prevalent and costly condition, with sepsis order sets showing potential to improve patient care.
  • Limited evidence exists on the impact of sepsis order sets on hospital care value and societal costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if sepsis order sets are associated with improved value of care in hospitalized patients.
  • Value of care was defined by decreased hospital mortality, direct variable costs, and societal spending.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of patients discharged with sepsis codes.
  • Propensity score matching was used to compare sepsis order set users and non-users.
  • Analysis examined associations with hospital mortality, direct variable costs, and hospital revenue.

Main Results:

  • Sepsis order set recipients had a 3.3% lower hospital mortality rate.
  • Median direct variable costs were $1,487 lower for sepsis order set users (P < .01).
  • Median payer-neutral reimbursement was $465 lower, indicating reduced societal costs (P < .01).

Conclusions:

  • Sepsis order sets are associated with improved value of care from both hospital and societal perspectives.
  • The findings support the broader implementation of sepsis order sets to enhance sepsis care efficiency and outcomes.
