Explain how and why healthcare epidemiology programs are essential to quality care
What will be an ideal response?
Healthcare epidemiology programs reduce transmission of infectious diseases through surveillance, prevention, and control programs. Since about 70 percent of HAIs are preventable; healthcare epidemiology programs have a significant opportunity to save lives. Estimates also show that every dollar invested in preventing nosocomial infections will lead to $3 of net direct cost savings. Furthermore, healthcare staff are there to increase the quality of life for their patients.
