Community-Acquired Notifiable Infectious Diseases in a Pediatric Hospital Effect on Infection Control Work Load
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
In a study of the impact of notifiable communicable disease admissions on infection control work load, we found notifiable disease cases to be responsible for less than 10% of admissions but 27% of infection control ward visits and to require extensive community liaison. Measures of work load based on nosocomial infections alone will underestimate infection control activity considerably.
