Description
This site includes a number of changes facilities
can implement to prevent SSI.
This site includes a number of tools from IHI to
aid a facility in SSI prevention.
Procedures and checklists created by Health
Protection Scotland to help prevent SSI.
How-to guide tailored specifically for
pediatricians describes key evidence-based care
components for preventing surgical site
infections, describes how to implement these
interventions, and recommends measures to
gauge improvement.
Site includes a list of resources, peer reviewed
research, and successful efforts to reduce SSIs.
This site presents case studies that enable
hospitals to learn from other hospitals about
successful strategies to create safe, reliable
health care processes. Hospitals can browse
case studies by topic.
The aim of this checklist is to reinforce accepted
safety practices and foster better
communication and teamwork between clinical
disciplines. The checklist is intended as a tool
for use by clinicians interested in improving the
safety of their operations and reducing
unnecessary surgical deaths and complications.
This site includes a table that allows facilities
the ability to quickly find a mentor in the area
of SSI prevention with similar demographics.
