The government recently released its annual report on the quality of health care Americans receive and while there have been some improvements, the news was not positive: hospitals still have work to do to put an end to the ongoing, but very solvable, problem of patients acquiring life-threatening infections in hospitals.
To help achieve that, Kimblery-Clark Healthcare has put together a website called "Not on My Watch" at www.haiwatch.com to educate patients and health care professionals. Their goal is to eliminate these preventable illnesses and their often tragic consequences.
I thought that you and the readers of Reaching Out Online would care about this issue and I was hoping you could post some information spread the word about protecting patients from preventable hospital infections. I've created a useful site that you're welcome to check out and grab resources from:
