Re: "Database of Best Practices for the Prevention of
Healthcare Associated infections"
Dear Mr. Palacious,
Once again allow me
to say “thank you” to you and the entire staff at the CDPH for the effort you
put forward concerning patient safety.
Here is where my advocacy for the Prevention of Healthcare
Associated Infections(HAI) in our Veteran’s Hospitals started, please note the participation
of Hoag Memorial Hospital:
This article came out today:
This came out on November

The collaboration of the U.C. Medical system and Anthem Blue
Cross will, in my opinion, create tremendous improvements in the prevention of
HAI, perhaps the “best practices” on the planet. If the process improvements
could be posted in something like a “Database of Best Practices for the
Prevention of HAI”, made available worldwide via the freedom of information act
with the goal of continuously improving the process may well create the opportunity
to actually “prevent” HAI. You can do the math of how your state of the art surveillance
system can be used for more than just penalizing poorly performing facilities, a
true “closed loop process”!
Why have most
government run healthcare systems failed to create a safe and efficient healthcare
system, they do not have this:
"If we
can improve the quality of care, that will translate into lower cost,"
Anthem President Pam Kehaly said. "These are real dollars”
With any luck our Veteran’s will gain form this spirit as
well, “thank you”!
Sincerely,
Ps: What can be accomplished with process improvement, “The
Cheese Cake Factory”?

I guess this is the “Cheese Cake Factory”!
According to my physics teacher, these are the apex of human
creation, far beyond airplanes and computers but compared to the complexity of
a human, 1 being a cheese cake and 10 being a patient, probably a score of
1.002. “hai-five” and have fun, just be sure and wash and dry your hands first!

You people at in the U.C. system, "thanks a bunch", she actually gets this stuff from her mom but good luck with the new medical program at U.C.R., that community really needs your efforts!
