According to a survey by Outpatient Surgery Magazine the 10 ways to win the war against surgical site infections include:
• Point-of-use cleaning and transportation trays
• Manual cleaning aids
• Reprocessing verification tests
• CHG soap or wipes
• Hand hygiene monitors
"Education is the key," says Beth Summerlin, MSN, RN, CNOR, manager of surgical service at Wellstar Windy Hill East Bobb Health Park OSC in Marietta, Ga. "All of the products are good, but if not used correctly, it defeats the effort."
The magazine polled 140 surgical facility managers for the survey.
