병원내의 세균 감염 경고 

 

We have a report tonight about just how dangerous hospital infections can be. Every year, about two million patients contract <병에> 걸리다 infections 병균감염 in US hospitals and about 90,000 die. Today, Pennsylvania became the first state to publish just how many patients develop <병에> 걸리다 infections in every one of the state’s hospitals. ABC’s Lisa Stark is in Pennsylvania tonight.

 

Hospitals are ripe 무르익은, 절호의 for infection, but most patients have no way of knowing which ones are worse than others. Today, Pennsylvania changed that by publishing a hospital-by-hospital breakdown 분류, 내역 of infection rates. “Transparency 투명성 is about putting information in the hands of real patients, so that they can make choices about where they want their healthcare.” In Pennsylvania alone, nearly 20,000 patients contracted hospital infections last year, including urinary tract 요로, pneumonia 폐렴, wound infections. The cost? $3.5 billion. And their death rate nearly 13% compared to 2% for other patients. “The theory of hospitals has been… just leave us alone, let us keep it confidential 기밀의 and we’ll fix the problem. Well, decades and decades have gone by, they haven’t fixed the problem.”

 

Public disclosure 발표, 공개 may encourage hospitals to change their ways. It’s the simple things that can make a big difference. Hand washing, for one 한 예로서는. Here at Holy Redeemer Hospital outside Philadelphia, there are hand-washing stations at every room. The hospital stresses infection control from scrubbing 세척하다 hospital rooms to making sure patients on ventilators 인공호흡장치 sit upright to lower the risk of pneumonia. Their goal? Zero infections. The hope is that more states will follow Pennsylvania’s lead by putting this information in the hands of the patient. Lisa Stark, ABC News, Philadelphia.
