Quality Assessment of a Multifaceted, Perioperative Infection Control Bundle

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Perioperative Transmission

In brief

Surgical site infections increase patient morbidity and healthcare costs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes improved basic preventive measures to reduce bacterial transmission and infections for patients undergoing surgery. We conducted a previous study that showed our treatment bundle is highly effective. Our current study planned to examine patterns/rate of S. aureus transmission to improve feedback widespread implementation of the perioperative infection prevention program at Iowa. The purpose of this study is to assess the fidelity of the set of interventions in controlling perioperative S. aureus and to provide data feedback via surveillance involving epidemiology of transmission for system optimization.
