Not on My Watch!

Have you or someone you know gone to the hospital to get better and instead contracted one of those nasty hospital infections?  They can be deadly.  Kimberly Clark has a website http://www.haiwatch.com/  to help you become more aware of and to help prevent HIAs (Healthcare Associated Infections). Their program is called "Not on My Watch".

This is a great resource, particularly for health care professionals.  It provides access to research reports and has printable fliers on subjects such as Swine Flu, Inflenza prevention and handwashing.  There is a section where you can access several webinars for clinical education purposes. HIA events held around the country are listed on this website.  One page lists recent news on HIAs and another page lists several partners and links to other organizations where you can get more info.

Can't get to an HIA event?  Well maybe the HIABus can come to your health care facility.  It's a mobile classroom that teaches healthcare employees about HAI prevention.  Take a look at the video on this website about the HIA bus.  You can also become a fan of the bus on Twitter or follow the bus on Facebook.  Hey, is that Sonjay Gupta on the side of the bus or just a handsome look-a-like?
