Clinical process & outcomes
In our ongoing drive to improve the clinical patient outcome for our patients, we utilise “Best Care Always!” which assists us in preventing hospital acquired infections. The four care “bundles” are implemented to prevent Central-Line Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI), Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP), Surgical Site Infections (SSI) and Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI).
Each bundle has a set of evidence-based practices that contribute to the prevention of infection, reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing, and may limit the development of antibiotic resistance in hospitals. Each bundle is measured in relation to the nursing compliance of these practices.
