Breakout Session A: Project Overview for New Teams

• Hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of harm to patients across the nation. To support performance improvement work, systems and staff skills need to be strengthened to identify and eliminate defects which harm patients.

The importance of accurate data collection and entry were discussed along with the data requirements for the STOP-BSI initiative. The goals of this initiative were reviewed along with ways in which the project may be organized and implemented at the local level such that specific strategies, and take home steps were provided.
