Re: Profound website upgrade, Healthcare Associated Infections!

 

Dear Mr. Palacios,

 

 Please allow me to once again thank you and all of the staff at the California Department of Public Health for all that you do for the wellbeing of all of here in California, I really appreciate it.

 The new California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) web site for the prevention of HAI is most profound and will have, in my opinion, an impact in the prevention of HAI throughout the world.


 The concept of the “educated patient” is clearly addressed in the “me and my family” section, the Chief Nurse at our local community hospital asked my wife and I to participate in a “Patient Partnership Program”, loosely based on a program put on by the American Hospital Association, the patient safety program at the same facility is both dynamic and progressive and the statistics, all thing considered, puts them as a top preforming facility in the country but family involvement eluded me, the following video changed my whole outlook:

Your work and focus at the CDPH HAI program is cutting edge, tangible, patient and family centric and conforms to the need of the Affordable Care Act, most impressive.

Patient safety world-wide is one step closer to preventing HAI and In the case of my advocacy for the Prevention of HAI in our Veteran’s Hospitals, it would be hard to believe the efforts at the CDPH has not already had a large impact, once again, “thank you”, your website has truly set the standard for patient safety and healthcare efficiency.

Sincerely,

 

Michael H. Slavinski
