An ongoing national pediatric quality improvement program launched in 2006 has so far prevented 2,964 central line infections; saved 355 children’s lives, and saved nearly $104 million that would have gone toward treating complications stemming from invasive blood-stream infections, according to a Johns Hopkins release.
Read the full report in Becker’s Hospital Review on central line infections.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
