Synopsis

The Joint Commission overhauled its infection prevention and control chapter of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals in 2009. It added two new standards, 12 more elements of performance, completely reorganized the numbering system, and added a new scoring system. And that's not all busy infection control professionals need to understand. Your challenges are compounded by new National Patient Safety Goals on infection control to prevent healthcare-associated infections due to multi-drug resistant organisms, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and surgical site infections. This book and CD-ROM set is your comprehensive resource to understand the various requirements and put processes in place to ensure compliance.
