The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released information on a new act that aims to improve healthcare. Some points from the National Quality Strategy are below:

• Better Care: Improve the overall quality, by making health care more patient-centered, reliable, accessible, and safe.
• Healthy People and Communities: Improve the health of the U.S. population by supporting proven interventions to address behavioral, social, and environmental determinants of health in addition to delivering higher-quality care.

• Affordable Care: Reduce the cost of quality health care for individuals, families, employers, and government.

APIC backed the resolution with its own response.

The CDC released a Vital Signs report stating that CLABSIs have declined in the ICU in 2009 compared to 2001. This is a step in the right direction. APIC.org also gave its response to the CDC’s Vital Signs report.

Although there has been improvement in the ICU, there is still much work to be done in the non-critical areas. WETKEYS.com products can help in these areas. Our Santiype products are designed for sanitary typing and can be cleaned between users. Together, we can make HAIs and CLABSIs a thing of the past!
