2. The Problem • Hospital-acquired infections rank as the fourth leading cause of death in America. • The numbers are staggering: according to the CDC, two million patients fall ill to infections in hospitals each year. More than 100,000 patients die annually as a result, which is as many as those who die from breast cancer, AIDS and motor vehicle accidents — combined. • As of October 2008, Medicare no longer reimburses hospitals for the cost of treating a number of preventable infections acquired there (called nosocomial infections). The hospitals must take a loss, since they also are not allowed to charge the sick patients for the cost of treatment. • Infections acquired through contamination are the most difficult to treat, because they are often antibiotic-resistant. www.patientsafetyfocus.com

3. Keyboards in Healthcare • Researchers at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital say computer keyboards can harbor dangerous germs for as long as 24 hours. • Research teams at the hospital contaminated keyboards with three types of bacteria that can cause life-threatening infections in severely ill hospital patients. They found that the bacteria known as VRE and MRSA survived for at least 24 hours, while PSAE bacteria survived for an hour. • When volunteers tapped a key contaminated with MRSA, the bacteria spread to their hands 92 percent of the time. Contamination rates are lower for the other two bacteria -- 50 percent for VRE and 18 percent for PSAE.

4. Costs of HAI • The average charges for Medicare patients with a hospital- acquired infection were about $160,000, compared to $32,000 for Medicare patients who did not contract an infection. • For Medicaid patients, the average charges were approximately $391,000 for patients who contracted an infection while hospitalized, compared to an average of $29,700 where an infection did not occur. • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a widely publicized type of antibiotic-resistant hospital-acquired infection, can cost hospitals roughly $30,000 per case.

5. Healthcare Providers • Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN’s) • Cover large geographical areas through a network of care delivery systems • May Also be referred to as an Integrated Delivery System (IDS) • Academic Health Systems • Drive the new visions and standards of care delivery • Community and Regional • Usually 100 beds or less. They tend to be more frugal because of limited resources • Specialty Hospitals • Tend to set the standard for care in select specialties • Usually get marketed as most innovative • Clinics and Centers • Can be independent or part of an IDN • Usually for profit so competition drives purchasing • Specialty • Practices • Physician and Dental Offices • Senior Care • Skilled Nursing • Assisted Living • Home Health • Visiting Nurses • CNA’s • Telehealth • Rehab
