Infection Control
T
he surgical team at Tri-State
Memorial Hospital in Clarkston, Wash., is
proud that their post-op infection rate has
sat below 1% for years. How they make it
happen might not sound much different
from what you do on a daily basis:
Preventing surgical site infections
is ingrained in the culture at
Tri-State Memorial Hospital.
l ALL HANDS ON DECK The mandatory morning
scrub sets the infection control tone for the day.
