Abstract:

This study evaluated the feasibility of utilizing routinely collected EHR data to calculate pre-developed quality indicators on antibiotic use. Three out of four indicators were found feasible. Main barriers included local codes for lab tests and surveillance cultures and lack of data on empirical prescription. Future studies should include data from multiple ICUs to test the variations in QIs between ICUs.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

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...
