Summary: "Practical Healthcare Epidemiology takes a hands-on approach to infection prevention for physicians, healthcare epidemiologists, infection preventionists, microbiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Increased regulatory requirements and patient knowledge and involvement has elevated patient safety, healthcare-associated infections, antibiotic stewardship and quality-of-care to healthcare wide issues. This fully updated new edition brings together the expertise of leaders in healthcare epidemiology to provide best practice expert guidance on infection prevention for adult and pediatric patients in all types of healthcare facilities, from community hospitals and academic institutions, to long-term care and resource limited settings. Written in clear, straightforward terms to address prevention planning and immediate responses to specific situations, this is the go-to resource for any practitioners in medicine or public health involved in infection prevention, regardless of their current expertise in the field"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) exact a tremendous toll in morbidity, mortality and costs. A recent survey estimated that 4% of all patients admitted to U.S. acute care hospitals in 2011 developed HAIs, for a total of 721,800 such infections [2]. Among these patients, about 75,000 died during their hospitalizations. Total annual costs for the five major HAIs (surgical site infection, central line-associated bloodstream infection, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, Clostridium difficile infection, and ventilator-associated pneumonia) have recently been estimated at around $9.8 billion"-- Provided by publisher.
