Zero Tolerance for Deadly Hospital-Acquired Infections
There’s a kind of hospital acquired infection that’s deadly—and almost entirely preventable. Consumer Reports identifies which hospitals are doing a good job against them, and which aren’t.
Central-line infections account for roughly five percent of all hospital-acquired infections, striking more than 27,000 people in 2015. Consumer Reports identified Mount Sinai St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital as one of the best infection-free hospitals, which went 969 days without a single central-line infection. Emilia Mia Sordillo, MD, shares on how the hospital maintains a clean environment. #ForYouForLife
