Objectives At the end of this session, participants will beable to: • Define Interventional Patient Hygiene (IPH) • List the components of an IPH Program • Develop a strategy for implementing IPH • Understand the importance of skin antisepsis in SSI prevention • VAP prevention progress update
Definitions Non-Clinical:Providing patient care practices that will reduce the choices of a healthcare-acquired infectionClinical:IPH is a comprehensive evidenced based intervention and measurement model for reducing the bioburden of both the patient and healthcare worker.

Control Through IPH UTI Rate- Removal of Prepackaged Bath Product QTR 3 FY05
Is There Evidence to Support This Trend? • High colony count found in bath water is similar to the number of bacteria found in urine from patients with UTIs.R.Shannon et al, Journal of HealthCare Safety, Compliance & Infection Control, April 1999; Vol. 3, No. 4, pg. 180-184 • Bath water could serve as a high magnitude microbial reservoir of potentially antibiotic resistant organisms. R.Shannon et al, Journal of HealthCare Safety, Compliance & Infection Control, April 1999; Vol. 3, No. 4, pg. 180-184 • Prepackaged bathing showed lower microbial counts than basins M.

Role of ICP in IPH • Partnership with nursing • Protocols/policies that include patient • Product evaluations • Prospective evaluations

SSIs: Magnitude of the Problem • 1996: 28.4 million ambulatory surgery procedures in the U.S. (CDC, National Center for Health Statistics) • 2003: 30.8 million inpatient surgical procedures and 9.7 million (37%) of those performed on patients 65 yrs and older (CDC, National Center for Health Statistics) • NNIS: SSIs occur in 2.6%1 of all surgeries = 1.5 million SSIs annually2 • SSIs are the 3rd most common HAI1 • Attributable cost: $25,546 (range $1,783 - $134,602)3 1. Mangram AJ, et al., Guideline for prevention of surgical site infection, 1999. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee, Atlanta GA. 2. SSI total calculated by multiplying SSI rate from ref. #3 by surgical procedure numbers from ref. #1 and 2. 3. Stone PW, et al., Am J Infect Control. Nov 2005;33(9):501-9.
Risk Factors for SSI: The Patient • Age • Nutritional status • Diabetes • Nicotine use • Obesity • Coexistent infection • Colonization • Altered immune response • Long preoperative stay How effectively can we control these risk factors?
Risk Factors for SSI: Pre- and Intraoperative • Inappropriate use of antimicrobial prophylaxis • Infection at remote site not treated prior to surgery • Shaving the site vs. clipping • Long duration of surgery • Improper skin preparation • Improper surgical team hand antisepsis • Environment of the room (ventilation, sterilization) • Surgical attire and drapes • Asepsis • Surgical technique: hemostasis, sterile field To a great extent, this is what we can control!
Goal Zero • The All-or-None Measurement • An option for calculating performance • Denominator = No. of pts. eligible to receive at least 1 or more discrete elements of care • Numerator = No. of pts. who actually received care • No partial credit is given • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) has moved to the “all-or-none” approach Nolan T, Berwick D. All-or-none measurement raises the bar on performance. JAMA 2006;295:1168-70.
Advantages of All-or-None Measurement • “….all-or-none measurements more closely reflects the interests and likely desires of patients. This is especially true when process components interact with each other synergistically….violation of a single step in the sterile technique in surgery may vitiate the benefits of proper execution of all other steps…”1 • The Take Away Message: in SSI prevention, it makes little sense to assure that the surgeon has washed his hands properly if the patient’s skin has not had optimal prepping 1.
