Running Head: INFECTION CONTROL AND PATIENT SAFETY
Infection Control – A Problem for Patient Safety
Abstract
In a health policy report, concerning nosocomial infections, Burke describes the enormous impact that hospital-acquired infections have on patient safety. The major problems of infection control and the possible resolutions for increasing patient safety are discussed. Within the article, charts and graphs describe in detail the effects that nosocomial infections have on patient health. ... These methods, along with active surveillance techniques, are crucial for monitoring and eventually improving the trends in infection control. Burke emphasizes the importance of surveillance, control measures, and infection-control professionals as the central solution for decreasing the growing threat of hospital-acquired infections.
Infection Control and Patient Safety
In this critical analysis, I intend to evaluate an article that discusses infection control, how it relates to patient safety and how to improve the rates of nosocomial infections seen in hospitals today. ... It is amazing how many factors go into the cause of a hospital-acquired infection. It is my hope that during this critical article review, I will better understand how to prevent and therefore reduce the rates of nosocomial infection.
The goal of Burke’s article is to describe the relationship between infection control and patient safety. ... Through these published proposals, Burke wishes to reemphasize the need for infection control in order to protect patient health.
