Hi Lindy,
this is exactly what we have decided to do here at Westmead around SABSI rates. the HH data although easy to collect does not seem rational we are comparing quarterly BSI to what appears to be monthly HH compliance? We are choosing to put up the compliance rate for the same quarter that the BSI represents. All in all whilst the posters are a good idea for displaying information to public there are some deficiencies with the poster and data input as it stands.
cheers

Dear all
just a question for my NSW ICP colleagues out there.
We are in the process of distributing and using the newly released “Help
us Beat Infections” posters we were recently sent for us to join in
with the rest of the state public facility’s in displaying the one
standard hand hygiene results posters for each of our wards however i
have a question that i am hoping for some consensus on as i have been
unable to get any standard answer to date in my calls around (& maybe I
am not understanding the instructions we were sent ..maybe I am just
having a slow day?)
Q1. In the section where we are asked to enter our BSI rate what are
folks entering?
I am assuming this figure it would be NSW CI 2.1 & 2.2 (HA SABSI)????
given we all collect it (I have had this feedback form another iCP which
sounds fair)
Q2. where it indicates to add your quarterly rate what is everyone
putting in this section
I would be assuming then that we use the last 3 months worth of 2.1 &
2.2 numerators & denominators and divide by 3 to get our quarterly rate
to provide a figure each month for our managers to add to this chartI would be interested to hear what other from NSW sites are doing …or
if I have it totally wrong and I can locate our quarterly BSI rate else
where or work it out differently. Adding our HH scores is the easy bit
..it the BSI i am not clear on so any thoughts on what you guys in NSW
are doing would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Hi All,
I’m after some information / experience with rebuild and design of
Health care facilities and peoples thoughts around toilet lids or No
toilet lids. For years I have been told that the toilet lids were
removed because of Infection Control. Now with the rebuilds there
continues to be great debate around to have a lid or not to have a lid.
So would be interested in other’s experiences.
My other question is around how many of the new ICUs are moving to
single rooms and what initiatives people may have put in place around
managing disposal of body wastes. these are rooms with no ensuites and
the option for a pan rooms is at the furthest point at end of unit.
looking forward to responses.
Regards
