Re: “Me and
My Family” & the Prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections!
Dear Mr.
Palacios,
Once again
please allow me to thank you and your staff at the California Department of
Public Health for all that you do concerning patient safety, I really
appreciated it.
The recent upgraded version of the California
Department of Public Health’s Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention
website will, in my opinion, save not
only thousands of lives here in California but millions of lives, annually,
worldwide and due to the fact that the entire world has access to it and will
be challenged world-wide as a standard to be improved to the level of not only
elevating patient safety and healthcare efficiency but making HAI free
facilities the expected rather than the unheard of.
Practical applications, our community hospital
asked my wife and I to join a “Patient Partnership Council 2014”, one of the first
tasks, review the patient handbook for opportunities for improvement, one
option, direct patients via the “checklist” to the “Me and My Family” link on
the CDPH HAI site:
The video format, way
off the chart and thank you for spending the money to give your project a solid
chance, I am very impressed, my next project is to advocate for organized labor
in California Healthcare facilities to adapt your website as a portal and
training tool for increased workplace safety and an opportunity to increase
healthcare efficiencies.
From what I have seen
from the “front line” is that organized labor has done its job concerning the implementation
of the Affordable Care Act, now it is time to make healthcare affordable and
safe for both patients and staff. It will require just as much focus and
passion but I am impressed with the professionals I have observed on the “front
line” and the passion for the task at hand is impressive on many levels.
The educated patient
is becoming a reality, thank you California Department of Public Health!
