PPT-Surveillance of Healthcare-Associated Infections

Learning Objectives Explain the purpose or aims of surveillance Discuss how to establish a system for healthcareassociated infection surveillance Differentiate between continuous surveillance and periodic prevalence surveys. S hospitals each year These infections are usually serious infections typically caus ing a prolongation of hospital stay and increased cost and risk of mortality CLABSI can be prevented through proper insertion techniques and management of the centra Arya. .
