Quality improvement approach to reducing readmission for surgical site infection
Surgical site infection (SSI) constitutes 15.7% of all healthcare-associated infections (Health Protection Agency, 2012). In addition to higher rates of mortality and morbidity, and an increase in associated pain and upset for patients (Broex et al, 2009; de Lissovoy et al, 2009), SSIs are the most costly in terms of resourcing (Edmiston et al, 2015). Furthermore, patients with SSI are five tim...

متن کاملSurgical Skills Simulation Center Implementation: Healthcare Continuous Quality Improvement Project
In the United States, upon resident work hour restriction implementation, obstetrics and gynaecology residents’ gynaecologic surgery volume decreased and operative time per caesarean delivery increased. High volume surgeons can have clinically significantly lower complication rates than low volume surgeons, p<0.001. Decreasing surgical volumes and increasing operative time raise the question of...
متن کاملSurgical site infection rates after minimally invasive spinal surgery.
OBJECT Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) have been reported after 2-6% of spinal surgeries in most large series. The incidence of SSI can be < 1% after decompressive procedures and > 10% after instrumented fusions. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that there is a lower rate of SSI when minimally invasive techniques are used. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collecte...
