Re: Veterans
Health, Healthcare Associated Infections
Dear Ms. Burger,
Once again thank you for all that you and the
entire membership of the California Nurses Association (CNA) do to help others,
as well as our Veterans.
Due to the fact that the California Nurses Association’s
members are in every Veteran’s hospital in California I just wanted to direct
your and your members attention to the following article and statistics
concerning the wonderful job being done in our Veteran’s hospitals concerning
the prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections(HAI).
The
headlines coming from the VA these days concerning management issues is disturbing
but the caliber of professional s helping our Veterans can easily be missed, in
my humble opinion, HAI can only be prevented by every professionals working in
a healthcare facility assumes a leadership role in the delivery of safe and
efficient healthcare.
Most articles concerning success in preventing HAI stories quickly trail off to
so implementation of technology or other investments due to the information usually
coming out of the “C” suite but the following link can help direct the CAN to
continue to the support the fundamentals:
Once again,
thank you and your membership for all that you do to support our Veterans, I
really appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Michael Slavinski
