So, I am watching a video on preventing the spread of infection at my new hospital yesterday. It aims to “break the chain” of behaviors that may cause serious hospital infections. One portion of the vid states “the nurse, being burnt out fails to audit the behavior of her coworker.”
The summary of the vid goes over the many methods to address how staff can break the chain to prevent serious hospital infections. It mentions all “the details staff can consider and actions staff can take.”
Nowhere does it address that the management allowed frontline medical personnel to become burnt out.
Just wanted everyone to know that videos like these are being shown in areas where peoples' roles are literally life or death.
This factor wasn't even discussed or analyzed as one of the ways that infection was allowed to spread.
This is a major medical center and teaching hospital.
