How do we move beyond “preaching to the choir”? Our hospital has stated we don’t want to be the first ones to try something different. Over the past year I have heard similar responses from four other systems as I search for solutions to our HAI issues. In the mean time how many are going to suffer?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have regarding wearing scrubs in public. Any facilities I’ve worked in, you wear your own scrubs to work and leave work in those same scrubs. None are supplied to change into while you are there working and I can’t see the practicality of using 2 sets of scrubs every day…One to wear there and one to change into to leave. And even if we did that, how do we guarantee we haven’t picked up any infectious germs on the way out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
