Abstract:
Selected issues for hospital epidemiology are presented. The issues of infection control, employee health and quality assessment cross the traditional department and reporting lines and require a multidisciplinary approach utilizing the epidemiological method. Programs seeking enhanced value--high quality outcomes per dollar cost--will likely support such an approach.
