Sharps Injury Prevention CD-ROM [SSC-004]

$14.00

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year 385,000 needle-sticks and other sharps-related injuries are sustained by hospital-based healthcare personnel; an average of 1,000 sharps injuries per day.

Injuries from needles and other sharps devices used in healthcare and laboratory settings are associated with the occupational transmission of more than 20 pathogens. HBC, HCV, and HIV are the most commonly transmitted pathogens during patient care.

This CD-ROM contains an introduction from Dr. Julie Gerberding, the former Director of the CDC. It contains a 168-page workbook for designing, implementing, and evaluating a sharps injury prevention program; customizable slide presentations that provide an overview of sharps injury prevention practices; and a brochure that urges healthcare workers to be prepared, be aware, and dispose with care.
