The key to any successful hospital-acquired infection (HAI) prevention program is compliance. With new patient safety initiatives and CMS mandates, compliance is even more critical to ensuring positive outcomes.
The Compliance Alliance Program (.pdf) can help your facility comply with CDC Guidelines and an evidence-based protocol. It gives nursing leaders a simple, fun way to empower fellow clinicians to help eliminate HAIs. The program is easy to manage and can help your facility achieve up to 90% or greater compliance.
Should your unit/facility accept this mission, the following criteria must be met in your quest to help eliminate HAIs. Remember, your Sage Products representative will be there to help you along the way.
Each unit will:
- Appoint an agreed upon number of Compliance Alliance team members.
- Measure staff compliance to the protocol.
- Measure HAI rates in conjunction with compliance.
- Compare units' compliance rates to promote healthy competition.
- Celebrate success when the HAI target reduction goal is reached.
Each team member will be asked to complete the following duties each week:
- Make sure appropriate Sage Products are in patient rooms and properly set up.
- Verify products are being used in accordance with your protocol. If not, ask why.
- Communicate the link between compliance and HAI prevention to fellow clinicians.
- Continue to educate and enforce compliance to your protocol.
- Work with your Sage Products representative to measure protocol compliance.
- Have fun and CELEBRATE SUCCESS!!
