New title Epidemiology of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Australia available now

[ACIPC Office]

Hi ACIPC Members,

This is to let you know about a new title Epidemiology of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Australia which is available now.

Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) are a major threat to patient safety and the quality of healthcare globally. Despite this, Australia does not have a nationally coordinated program for the surveillance and reporting of HAIs. Epidemiology of Healthcare-associated Infections in Australia is Australia’s first peer-reviewed, evidence-based assessment of the epidemiology of HAIs using publicly available data from hospital-acquired complications (HACs), state-based surveillance systems and peer-reviewed and grey literature sources.

This important work has been compiled by some of Australia’s leading infection control professionals and researchers. It will build national consensus on definitions, surveillance methodology and reporting of the incidence of HAIs. In doing so, it provides hospitals and those working in infection prevention and control an opportunity to benchmark and evaluate interventions to reduce infections and ensure transparency on reporting methods that will strengthen Australia’s efforts to prevent and control HAIs.

Key Features:

* Collated publicly available HAI surveillance definitions from jurisdictions across Australia
* Collated publicly available national HACs HAI data derived from the associated surveillance programs
* Identification of the gaps in both publicly available HAI data from different sources and the lack of publicly available HAI surveillance data in one serialised title
* Supporting video summarising key content
* Available in eBook format with print-on-demand option
