Surveying last month's hospital-acquired infections in an excel table. Looking good so far #IDWeek 🏥🦠🧫🧪

Wanna get sepsis and die? Go to your local hospital!
Also you can offer a treatment. But it's ok.
For me maybe, but not for the 1 in 31 patients that acquire a disease in the hospital...
wouldn't it be nice to have this data displayed for every hospital, and also published for visibility to public? hospitals etc have this information and report it, but don't publish. that should be a crime; i would like to go to a medical institution with the lowest rates of infection, please!
i guess you could say the same thing about power consumption in "it land"; like (and including) an appliance, power consumption rating system, actual usage in what range(s) would be nice to see and make decisions about
why can't i find good mainstream appliances built to handle "off grid" systems?
because capitalism
however, ingenuity and genuine hard work of the productive variety should be adequately rewarded!
i hate politics
for the record, based on my professional experience:
brigham and womans in boston is par excellent when it comes to surgery, across the the range of medical specialties
mayo clinic (central, large best in class institutions) also quite renowned
it sometimes pays to travel
Data it's quite public in my hospital if someone asks for it. Infection control is also complex enough to be interpreted by people who are not trained in the health environment. But it is a standard that regulates the excellence of a hospital. That's for sure.
you have to ask to get this information on an n=one basis; those rates should never be considered "publicly assessable", as it takes "years" for an n=one human to find this information
These answers have already become too abstract and complex, but I guess.... 🙄 yes ETH is bad.
I don't mean to rag on you Kamo, I'm sure you're a dedicated professional that does great work. It's just an issue that's also close to me also
