News from Division Head
There are a number of activities going on
in the background that will affect the way ID operates and provides
clinical care:
News from Southern Alberta Clinic
The Southern Alberta HIV clinic (SAC) was
established in 1989 with a Provincial mandate to provide centralized out
patient care to all HIV infected persons living within Southern Alberta.
News from Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic
The clinic is preparing for a major move
to the new Sheldon Chumir Health Centre, slated for summer 2008. This
will involve recoding all of our patient records (90,000 of them) to fit
better with the regional Medical Records system. News from Infection Prevention & Control The Ministry of Health has released several new IPC standards, and the IPC program is endeavoring to meet these. Prevention and control of MRSA is a major initiative in the urban hospitals for the coming year. Hand hygiene promotion in the coming year will include an online training module and a contest to see which patient care unit or clinic can make the best hand hygiene commercial to be posted on YouTube. The prizes will be fabulous! Division Awards Dr. Harvey Rabin
