Read the case study from pp. 560–562 of your text:
Madison Community Hospital Addresses Infection Prevention (attached)
- What are some of the issues associated with caregivers sanitizing their hands? Why do you suppose only 40 percent of caregivers sanitize their hands? What other department personnel, besides nursing, may need to enter a patient’s room during his/her stay?
- Who should be on this task force to represent which hospital functions and why? To whom should the task force report its results and why?
- How would the problem look different if it turned out only a handful of personnel were noncompliant? How would this affect the improvement process?
