The Feasibility of an Infection Control “Safe Zone” in a Spinal Cord Injury Unit
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2016
Abstract
We report on healthcare worker use of a safe zone (outside a 3-foot perimeter around the patient’s bed) and personal protective equipment in 2 inpatient spinal cord injury/disorder units. Workers remained within the safe zone during 22% of observations but were less compliant with personal protective equipment inside the zone.
