Pharmacy OneSource Announces Free Expert Webinar on Hospital-Acquired Infections
Webinar to feature multiple methods for prevention

BELLEVUE, WA, March 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pharmacy OneSource, creator of web applications to enable swift and safe healthcare, is pleased to announce an upcoming complimentary webinar: "Hospital Infection: Essential New Information to Support Cleaning and Screening."

Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., former Lieutenant Governor of New York State and Chairman/Founder of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID), will provide startling new evidence on how surface bacterial contamination leads to increases in the rates of colonization and infection. Dr. McCaughey will present innovative practical steps on how to protect patients from contracting healthcare-associated infections.

Throughout her presentation, Dr. McCaughey will cite examples of success stories -- hospitals that have significantly reduced infection rates of SSI, MRSA, CLABSI, etc. Her presentation is based on the latest research published in peer-reviewed journals and/or supported by extensive clinical surveillance.

"New evidence shows that the single most reliable predictor of who gets a hospital infection is who occupied the room before you. Effective cleaning is especially needed to protect patients. Hospitals are under increasing pressure to reduce infection rates as they get legislated and litigated into cleaning up their acts," said Dr. Betsy McCaughey.
