Title: Novel Products, Protocols and Measures for Battling Nosocomial Infections
Speaker: Rita Smith, BS, RN, MSN, CIC Director, Nurse Epidemiologist Suburban Hospital Bethesda, MD
Rita Smith is currently the Director of Infection Control at Suburban Hospital, Bethesda, MD. Prior to her position at Suburban Hospital she also held the position of Director of Infection Control at George Washington University Hospital in Washington DC.
The Infection Control community recognizes that Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) affect patients, increase length of stay and are a financial drain on budgets and operating margins of health care facilities. Financial constraints often force facilities to review labor intensive services such as housekeeping which results in reducing staffing in this area to a bare minimum. We know that HAIs are controllable and preventable by rigorous infection prevention principles and we understand that using proper surface disinfection can prevent HAIs from occurring, however, current infection control guidelines are relatively vague with respect to disinfection of hospital surfaces and do not provide details on frequency, methods to be used or training to provide to Environmental Services Personnel.
