About the Book

In recent years, issues of infection control, patient safety, and quality of care have become increasingly prominent in health-care facilities. "Practical Healthcare Epidemiology" takes a practical, hands-on approach to these issues, addressing all aspects of infection surveillance, prevention, and infection control in clear, straightforward terms. This fully revised third edition brings together the expertise of more than fifty leaders in health-care epidemiology and infection prevention, who provide clear, sound guidance on infection control for the full range of patients in all types of health-care facilities, including those in settings with limited resources. It will be a powerful resource for practitioners in any branch of medicine or public health who are involved in infection prevention and control, whether they are experienced in health-care epidemiology or new to the field.

Review :
"A much-needed response to the currently tough challenges posed to healthcare epidemiologists and infection preventionists. . . . Highly recommended reading for trainees and professionals in infection control--and healthcare epidemiologists in particular." -- "Clinical Infectious Diseases" "An essential for anyone in the field." --Thomas R. Talbot, Chief Hospital Epidemiologist, Vanderbilt University Medical Center "The editors and authors of the new third edition of Practical Healthcare Epidemiology have produced a text that covers both the basics of infection prevention and the most important recent developments. . . . Overall, the chapters are clear and succinct, making excellent use of charts, graphs, and bulleted lists to guide the reader to essential information. Several chapters are new to this edition, including much-needed chapters on quality improvement, Clostridium difficile, and government mandates. There are many highlights, beginning with a practical chapter on how to get paid for the work of health care epidemiology. The bulleted list of "tips and tricks of the trade" in this chapter, with its practical suggestions for how to set goals and choose battles, communicate and lead effectively, and run efficient and effective meetings, is alone worth the purchase price. . . . . The infection preventionist with 10 minutes between meetings to quickly review important issues in control of C difficile will find this text valuable, as will the infectious diseases fellow wanting a readable text that reviews the essential infection control issues and the hospital epidemiologist suddenly faced with the responsibility for establishing an antimicrobial stewardship program. . . . A handy desk reference and an up-to-date primer for trainees and experts alike." --Daniel J. Diekema "Journal of the American Medical Association"
