چکیده
MRSA, VRE and Clostridium difficile can survive on environmental surfaces for weeks or months. Surfaces contaminated with these organisms can result in nosocomial infections by two mechanisms: 1) the hands or gloves of healthcare workers (HCWs) can become contaminated via inanimate (environmental) contact and thus lead to the indirect transmission of infection and 2) these organisms can be acquired by patients directly from the environment.

متن کامل1004Technical and Logistical Issues in Incorporating Statistical Process Control into Healthcare-Associated Infection Surveillance Programs
Background. Statistical process control (SPC) can be an effective complement to healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance. Since this use of SPC somewhat differs from its manufacturing origins, some issues warrant exploration to maximize SPC’s value in detecting outbreaks and reducing HAIs. Little empirical investigation has been conducted to develop a framework for managing signals fr...
