Book Description
In recent years, issues of infection control, patient safety, and quality of care have become increasingly prominent in healthcare facilities. Practical Healthcare Epidemiology takes a practical, hands-on approach to these issues, addressing all aspects of infection surveillance, prevention, and infection control in clear, straightforward terms. This fully revised third edition brings together the expertise of more than fifty leaders in healthcare epidemiology and infection, who provide clear, sound guidance on infection control for the full range of patients in all types of healthcare facilities, including those in settings with limited resources. It will be a powerful resource for practitioners in any branch of medicine or public health who are involved in infection control, whether they are experienced in healthcare epidemiology or new to the field.
