Infection Control Comes Home

Missouri Alliance for Home Care and the Infection Surveillance Project (ISP); Health Advisory Committee for Infection Control and Prevention

As health care moves home, so do infections. By taking active infection surveillance and control measures into the home, the Missouri Alliance Home Care Infection Surveillance and Control Project is improving quality care and patient outcomes. Tracking bladder and central venous catheter infections since 1993, the home health agencies from more than 25 states that participate in this infection project are seeing the benefit of their efforts.

Key Words: benchmarking • home care • improved outcomes • infection control • infection data • infection rates • quality care
