Publically reported indicators
Since 2008, all hospitals in Ontario have mandatory public reporting of some of the most common hospital-associated infections.
What indicator is being reported and when?
How do we control the spread of these infections?
The Infection Prevention and Control Specialist works with employees, visitors, and patients to minimize hospital-acquired infections. To control the spread of these infections at Stevenson, we use routine practices such as:
- Handwashing
- Environmental cleaning
- Sterilization of equipment
- Single-use of supplies
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) education
- Additional isolation precautions
