SATELLITE SYMPOSIUM CAREFUSION – ROOM R070

 

Towards a systematic approach to patient safety and infection prevention

 

Session description

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) can have a devastating impact on patient care and wellbeing, as well as on service delivery, public confidence and treatment costs.  The session will cover the three main causes of HAIs affecting hospitals around the world and outline new innovative products that help reduce the incidence of HAIs.

CareFusion is a global company with products and services that help hospitals measurably improve the quality, safety and cost of patient care. Born in 2009 as the result of a spin-off from Cardinal Health, the company is new but its family of products includes some of the most recognized brands in health care, utilized in more than 120 countries.  We help our customers measurably improve patient safety by focusing on two of the biggest issues affecting healthcare – medication errors and HAIs.
