Dangerous Infections
Description
Health care-associated infections are getting a lot of profile in the hospital environment and rightfully so, says Peter Angood of The Joint Commission, a health care accreditation organization. "That's where the sickest patients come, that's where the most antibiotics are used, that's where the resistances begin to emerge." This program provides guidelines for people to follow when prescribed an antibiotic and explains ways that inpatients can lower the risk of contracting a hospital-acquired infection. The video also illustrates measures being taken by hospital personnel to keep their patients safe.
