Author: K.Meadows  August 27, 2010

The Cintas Corporation released the results of a survey it conducted on infection preventionists.

Here is a segment of the article:

CINCINNATI, Aug 25, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Cintas Corporation /quotes/comstock/15*!ctas/quotes/nls/ctas (CTAS 25.58, +0.38, +1.51%) today announced the results of an attendee survey conducted at the recent APIC 2010 conference. The survey was designed to better understand the relationship between infection prevention department and environmental services (EVS) in controlling hospital-acquired infections. The survey was completed by 100 infection control personnel.

Results showed that 79 percent of respondents indicated they work closely with the EVS department to establish cleaning protocols and ensure compliance. An additional 73 percent of respondents advised they were also involved in the selection of the cleaning products used within their facility.

“Infection preventionists play a pivotal role in limiting the spread of bacteria and viruses in a healthcare environment,” said Brent Shafer, VP Healthcare at Cintas. “By working closely with the EVS department, they can be a proponent for EVS to gain additional financial resources. This helps to improve overall levels of cleanliness, reducing cross contamination and infection.”

Liability costs go down. At least, according to This Study by the University of Michigan Health System.

The Wall St. Journal reported this article yesterday and it has some interesting facts. Even though the hospital would admit and compensate for mistakes, lawsuits declined and overall liability costs did too.

The healthcare system can lower its costs even further by implementing WETKEYS washable keyboards and mice.

All of our medical grade equipment is waterproof and can be cleaned between users. This helps prevent hospital spread infections. When you lower unneccessary infections, you lower the overall cost of healthcare.

The Cost Of Medical Errors

Author: K.Meadows  August 12, 2010

The Wall St. Journal wrote a piece on the cost of medical errors today.

“Medical errors and the problems they can cause — including bed sores, post-op infections and implant or device complications — cost the U.S. economy $19.5 billion in 2008, according to a  study released today. (That’s enough to buy almost 1.3 billion copies of The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande’s bestseller on reducing such errors via the lowly checklist.)

The study, commissioned by the Society of Actuaries and carried out by the actuarial and consulting firm Milliman, is based on insurance claims data. The cost estimate includes medical costs, costs associated with increased mortality rate and lost productivity, and covers what the authors describe as a conservative estimate of 1.5 million measurable errors. The report estimates the errors caused more than 2,500 avoidable deaths and over 10 million lost days of work.”

MRSA Cases Are On The Decline

Author: K.Meadows  August 11, 2010

Bloomberg News has reported that MRSA cases are on the decline in the US.

“Invasive MRSA, a hospital-acquired infection that kills at least 15,000 people annually in the U.S., may be in retreat as health providers strengthen practices to control its spread.

The rate at which patients contracted this drug-resistant germ, one of the most common causes of infections in hospitals, dropped 28 percent from 2005 through 2008 in nine metropolitan areas across the U.S., according to a study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. There was also a 17 percent decline in health-care-associated outbreaks that occur outside hospitals, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which collected and analyzed the data.”
