Bob Wachter: “Infection Preventionists are hard at work trying to decrease infection rates through microbiologically-sensible process changes, and bless them for these efforts. The problem is that ““ without adequate information technology and clerical support ““ they are spending a huge amount of their time data-gathering, and not nearly enough in change management. It is the usual story: in every industry, management always expects workers to accomplish boatloads of today’s new work while using yesterday’s resources.”
