On Preventable Hospital Infections – wth Videos
By Barbara Dunn
Hello Dr. David E. Marcinko and all ME-P Readers and Subscribers
You may have seen that the government recently released its annual report on the quality of health care Americans receive. While there have been some improvements, the news was not positive: hospitals still have work to do to put an end to the ongoing, but very solvable, problem of patients acquiring life-threatening infections in hospitals.

A Dangerous Education
Patients, their caregivers, and health care professionals need to educate themselves on the dangers and what can be done to protect people from getting sick while in the very place they went in order to get well.
HAI = Healthcare Associated Infection
New Site Launch
To help achieve that, Kimblery-Clark Healthcare has put together a website called “Not on My Watch” at www.haiwatch.com to educate patients and health care professionals. Their goal is to eliminate these preventable illnesses and their often tragic consequences.
