Topic: This week we covered the bacterial growth requirements and inhibiting bacterial growth. Your assignment this week is to define and research the frequency of HAI’s. Your assignment this week is to create a proposal to a hypothetical hospital administrative board that outlines three practices that minimize microbial growth, which then minimizes the occurrence of HAI’s. Your proposal should be crafted into a 1250-1500 word document following the expectations below.
Assignment Expectations:
- Length should be 1250-1500 words, not including the Title and References pages (typed, 12 point font, double spaced).
- These subheadings are required (content expectation is also provided)
- Introduction (provide statistics on HAI occurrence and why this is problem in healthcare)
- Practice 1 (Describe how the method limits microbial growth, particular microbes that are most affected by the method, and how this method should be applied to patient care standard operating procedures).
- Practice 2 (Describe how the method limits microbial growth, particular microbes that are most affected by the method, and how this method should be applied to patient care standard operating procedures).
- Practice 3 (Describe how the method limits microbial growth, particular microbes that are most affected by the method, and how this method should be applied to patient care standard operating procedures).
- https://www.cdc.gov/winnablebattles/report/HAIs.html Review the information presented about Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). Provide a paragraph that aligns your proposal with data presented.
- Summary (Briefly summarize the three practices and the benefit to both patient health and hospital operations).
- Support your content with at least (5) citations. Make sure to reference the citations using APA writing style for the presentation.
