SUMMARY:Preventing Healthcare Associated Infections
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare-associated infections (HAI)\, or hospital-acquired i
 nfections\, add significant burden to healthcare systems already under gre
 at pressure. It is estimated that two million hospital bed days are lost t
 o HAI annually\, costing the care providers more than $1 billion\, a stagg
 ering figure amidst escalating expenses. That is not to mention longer hos
 pital stays and larger bills for patients as well.\n\nThe key to reducing 
 HAI lies in effective infection control around every part of the hospital 
 environment. This includes adopting the right care and handling practices\
 , as well as adopting the right hospital equipment and devices that suppor
 t infection control – from thermometers\, stethoscopes to blood pressure
  cuffs\, which may harbour organisms and cause cross-contamination.\n\nAt 
 this webinar\, find out the consequences on healthcare providers if HAIs a
 re left unchecked. Also\, you will hear from hospital leaders and healthca
 re experts on best practices in infection control\, including:\n\n 	Best p
 ractices in managing patient beds and equipment to reduce risk of infectio
 n – such as wipe-down protocol and regular inspection routine\n 	Adoptio
 n of technology and innovative medical applications and systems that minim
 ise risk of infection – such as replacement tubes that minimise interact
 ion between open wounds and devices\, smart beds adoption\, smart connecti
 vity solutions etc.\n 	The role of disposable and single-use technology\, 
 and addressing concerns on the impact of such technology on the environmen
